2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · YF17 AEN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the June 2026 test at 94,087 miles. The most recent inspection recorded no defects, which suggests that previous maintenance issues have been addressed. While the car has experienced failures in the past, the current status indicates the vehicle is being kept in a compliant condition. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,454 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 19,905 miles in April 2020 to the current 94,087 miles. There are no significant gaps in the mileage history that would suggest long periods of inactivity, nor is there evidence of sudden, excessive mileage spikes that might indicate heavy commercial use. The MOT history reveals a recurring trend regarding consumable wear, specifically concerning tyre tread depth and condition. The tester flagged tyre issues in January 2021, January 2023, January 2024, and June 2025. The failure in June 2025 for an offside rear tyre below the 1.6mm legal limit, alongside ineffective windscreen wipers, suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance for minor components. A buyer should check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit. A specific mechanical concern arose during the January 2021 test when the vehicle failed due to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicating an airbag fault. Although the car passed subsequent tests, a physical inspection of the dashboard warning lights is necessary to confirm the airbag system is fully operational. Beyond these consumables and the electronic fault, the record shows no history of structural corrosion, brake issues, or suspension component failures.
