2021 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · KF65 AFF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 26 May 2026, following a minor failure regarding the effectiveness of the front windscreen wiper. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable and positive, as the majority of the testing history consists of clean passes without significant defects. The absence of recurring mechanical failures suggests a vehicle that has been reasonably well-maintained and is not suffering from systemic faults. With a recorded mileage of 35,685 miles over approximately five years, the car has averaged roughly 7,137 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age and class, avoiding the risks associated with both excessive wear from high mileage and the degradation caused by prolonged standing. Consequently, the drivetrain and chassis components are likely to be in a predictable condition, though consumables will be reaching a mid-life stage. Regarding specific historical advisories, the 2024 record noted a nail in the nearside front tyre and edge wear on the offside front. While these were likely rectified, a prospective buyer should carefully inspect the current tyre tread depths and check for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate a need for wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, pay close attention to any steering drift or vibration through the steering wheel, which would suggest underlying geometry issues. Given the vehicle is now five years old, physical inspection should extend to time-based degradation. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or a pronounced lip, and ensure there is no binding in the calipers. Verify the service history to confirm that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule, as calendar-based fluid degradation can occur regardless of mileage. Finally, test the 12V battery health and inspect the rubber seals and tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking.
