2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · SU51 ADT

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT record. The most recent test in December 2025 at 65,227 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding four annual tests, dating back to December 2022, are equally spotless. This indicates a stable and well-maintained condition with no developing mechanical or structural issues flagged by any tester. The single failure in December 2022 is a procedural anomaly, as the record shows no defects were listed at that time either, suggesting it may have been a clerical error or an immediate re-test after a minor issue was resolved on the spot. The mileage progression is consistent and typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The annual accumulation averages roughly 7,200 miles, with a steady increase from 36,677 miles in December 2022 to 65,227 miles in December 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate periods of disuse or heavy commercial use. The pattern reflects regular, everyday driving. Given the pristine MOT history, the primary risk for a buyer is not a known recurring fault but the natural wear of components that have not yet triggered a tester's advisory. Pay particular attention to the condition of the rear suspension control arm bushes and the front lower arm rear bushes, as these are common wear items on this model that can degrade silently. Also inspect the brake discs for lipping and the rear brake calipers for signs of binding, as these can develop gradually without immediate test failure. A thorough independent inspection should focus on these areas to confirm the vehicle's condition matches its exemplary test record.
