2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · N22 MBM

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 44,696 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed potential issues before they triggered failures, avoiding recurring mechanical faults or structural degradation over the last five testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 21,825 miles and June 2024 at 31,709 miles, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles, showing consistent but light usage. A shorter interval of 4,241 miles occurred between the 2025 and the most recent tests. This low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to component degradation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT record shows no flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on components often affected by low-mileage use. Check the rubber-based parts such as suspension bushes and sidewalls for cracking or dry rot due to age rather than wear. Examine the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to surface oxidation. Additionally, verify the underbody for any early-stage corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the lack of official advisories.
