2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · AD15 PYJ

The 2015 MINI Cooper presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 28 April 2025 at 87,163 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in 2024 and 2023 also closed with passes, though each of those years opened with an initial failure on the same date and mileage where the tester logged no defects. This pattern implies administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle shows no worsening condition across the observed record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old car, with 87,163 miles recorded against an average of roughly 7,924 per year. The gap between the 24 April 2023 test at 76,057 miles and the 10 May 2024 test at 80,800 miles shows only 4,743 miles added in thirteen months, followed by 6,363 miles to the April 2025 test. The DVSA history is sparse and clean beyond the duplicated entries, offering no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions to track. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the absence of advisory data in the record. The repeated same-day fail-pass pairs in 2023 and 2024 with no defects noted suggest clerical error rather than owner neglect, but the lack of flagged consumable wear means tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and coil springs have not been formally assessed since 2023 at the latest. Verify the vehicle's physical condition against the clean MOT trail before purchase, focusing on binding calipers, suspension articulation, and chassis weld points that a no-defect test may not have scrutinised in detail. The recorded care pattern implies light use and no documented mechanical risk, yet in-person checks remain the only safeguard against latent wear the MOT did not capture.
