2021 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · EK71 AEM

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 30 September 2025 at 31,782 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that previous issues have been addressed. The mention of an under tray fitted during this test suggests a proactive approach to protecting the lower mechanical components from road debris and moisture. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,356 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test and the September 2025 test, the car covered 7,389 miles, showing a regular interval of use. This low annual mileage generally suggests that wear on high-value components such as the drivetrain, clutch, and suspension bushings should be minimal compared to higher-mileage counterparts. A single point of failure was recorded on 05 September 2024 at 24,393 miles, where a structural bulge in the nearside front tyre caused an immediate fail. While this was rectified as evidenced by the subsequent pass on the same day, a buyer should still inspect the remaining tyres for similar bulges or sidewall damage. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods without regular use.
