2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · KP17 ABU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test, conducted on 19 August 2025 at 33,588 miles, resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all legal standards. Following a single failure in July 2023, the vehicle has passed two consecutive tests without any advisories, suggesting that previous issues were addressed and that the current mechanical condition remains consistent. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,732 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 15,981 miles and August 2024 at 28,153 miles, the car covered 12,172 miles over two years, which represents a slight increase in usage compared to the earlier years but remains well below national averages. This low usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can increase the risk of rubber degradation and brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat for long periods between tests. While the digital record is remarkably clean, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage storage. The buyer should check for surface rust on the brake discs and seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to binding. Additionally, the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls require examination for cracking or dry rot, as these materials age over time regardless of the distance driven. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains sound, but a visual check of the underbody for corrosion remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
