2020 MINI COOPER S ELECTRIC LEVEL 3ELECTRICITY

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status following a failed MOT test on April 11, 2026 at 48,874 miles. While the previous history shows a period of clean passes, the recent failure without recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a specific mechanical fault that was not addressed prior to the test. The maintenance trend is currently unstable, as the vehicle moved from a clean record in 2025 to a failure just two months prior to the current date. This discrepancy indicates either a lack of preventative maintenance or a sudden component failure occurring shortly before the annual inspection. At 48,874 miles over six years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,146 miles per year, which remains consistent with typical usage patterns for an electric hatchback. There is a notable gap in records between the April 2024 test at 24,356 miles and the April 2025 test at 35,936 miles, where the car covered over 11,000 miles in a single year. The consistent accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and braking systems, though it increases the wear on suspension bushings and tyres. A prospective buyer must verify the specific reason for the April 2026 failure, as the lack of recorded defects in the history leaves the mechanical state opaque. Given the mileage and age, a physical inspection should focus on the front suspension arms and coil springs for wear, as these are common points of degradation on this chassis platform. The buyer should also check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as electric vehicles often suffer from surface rust if the brakes are not frequently utilised. The earlier 2023 failure at 21,808 miles also warrants close attention to ensure the underlying issue was resolved permanently and did not recur.
