2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · RU67 BYY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 5 February 2026 at 67,053 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a series of clean passes over the previous three years, suggesting that the previous owners proactively maintained the vehicle and addressed minor issues before they escalated into mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle this age, averaging approximately 7,450 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, with a 12,198-mile interval between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 12,486 miles recorded between the 2025 and early 2026 tests. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals, battery health, and brake components to prevent the corrosion or fluid degradation often associated with neglected vehicles. While the clean history is encouraging, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. Given the age and the 67,000-mile mark, components like control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers may show signs of wear or tearing. The brief failure and subsequent pass in September 2023 at 38,624 miles indicates a minor issue was rectified quickly, but a check of the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear remains advisable to ensure no underlying mechanical issues persist despite the clean MOT record.
