2019 MINI Cooper S 1.5L Petrol · 1108 ML

The roadworthiness status of this vehicle is currently valid following a pass on 23 March 2026 at 62,795 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a direct recovery from a major failure earlier in the cycle. Specifically, the vehicle failed an MOT on 27 March 2024 due to an excessive front engine oil leak, but passed the following day after rectifying the issue. The subsequent clean pass in March 2025 and the fault-free test in March 2026 indicate that this mechanical defect has remained resolved, pointing to a stabilizing maintenance trajectory over the last two years. The vehicle is approximately seven years old with an odometer reading of 62,795 miles, averaging roughly 8,971 miles per year. This mileage accumulation rate sits well within typical UK driving parameters for this age bracket. The testing cadence demonstrates consistent annual submission to the DVSA testing regime each spring, aside from an intermediate test in September 2023. That additional test occurred at a lower mileage bracket and broke the annual cycle, though subsequent tests returned to a predictable March schedule. Prospective buyers must prioritize inspecting the engine bay for any residual or returning leaks given the major oil leak recorded in March 2024. The physical examination should also verify the condition of the braking system, referencing advisories from the September 2023 test that noted thin nearside rear brake pads and a pitted, worn offside rear brake disc. While the most recent MOT certificates contain no active advisories, checking these specific mechanical friction components will confirm whether the previous brake wear issues were fully addressed by subsequent component replacements.
