2021 MINI Cooper S Electric Level 1 Electric · W66 MAA

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 25 November 2025, recording zero defects at 29,233 miles. This marks a clear improvement from the previous test, where both front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit. The maintenance trend is therefore resolving, suggesting the previous owner addressed the tyre wear promptly after the December 2024 advisory. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the record, which is a positive indicator for an electric vehicle of this age. The mileage profile is notably low. At roughly 5,847 miles per year over five years, this MINI has seen significantly less use than the typical UK average. The gap between the December 2024 test at 25,198 miles and the November 2025 pass at 29,233 miles shows an accumulation of 4,035 miles in just under twelve months, which is modest but consistent with regular short-to-medium distance commuting. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or rapid spikes that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. The sparse but clean record is typical for a nearly new electric car, where fewer moving parts naturally reduce the likelihood of mechanical advisories. Despite the clean recent result, a buyer should still inspect the tyres in person. The December 2024 failure on both nearside and offside front tyres suggests the vehicle may have spent time with uneven inflation or misaligned tracking, which can also accelerate wear on suspension bushes and steering components. Check the inner and outer edges of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, and examine the brake discs and pads, as electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, which can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on discs if the friction brakes are underused. Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion on suspension mounting points or subframes, particularly if the car has been standing for extended periods between short trips. The battery health and charging behaviour should also be verified through the vehicle's onboard diagnostics, as low-mileage electric cars can suffer from battery degradation if left at extreme charge states for long durations.
