2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · ET17 AEC

The 2017 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 23 February 2026 at 49,460 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual examinations the vehicle cleared every assessment without advisory or failure, indicating consistent upkeep by prior keepers. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for a nine-year-old hatchback. The record shows 22,892 miles at the 31 December 2020 test, rising to 28,190 miles by 7 January 2022, then 38,464 miles on 1 December 2023, 43,928 miles on 3 December 2024, and 49,460 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 5,500 miles per year, with a slight slowdown between 2024 and 2026. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear; the clean spaced tests suggest gentle domestic use rather than neglected storage. No recurring mechanical or structural faults surface in the MOT data, so the buyer faces no flagged risks such as worn suspension bushes, corroded coil springs, or binding calipers. The unbroken pass record implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test. Still, a low-mileage 2017 platform can conceal age-related degradation invisible to a pass certificate. In person, the buyer should scrutinise underside structural integrity for corrosion, check brake discs for surface rust from standing, and assess suspension components for perished bushes despite absence of advisories. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent given the vehicle's age.
