2022 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · AE22 HNB

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 3 March 2026 at 22,031 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry logged on the same date at identical mileage carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage shows light use for a four-year-old car. The February 2025 test at 13,525 miles rose to 22,031 miles by March 2026, an annual gain of roughly 8,500 miles against a lifetime average near 5,500. The gap between tests is just over twelve months, with no intermediate entries to reveal wear progression on consumables or drivetrain components. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and coil springs, as low-mileage cars left standing can develop perished rubber or surface corrosion unseen in a clean MOT. The twin 3 March 2026 logs at 22,031 miles warrant confirmation that the failure was paperwork-only and the pass reflects the car's true status. No recurring faults appear in the record, so serious structural or mechanical risk is not indicated by the data. A pre-purchase check of exhaust emissions and tyre condition remains sensible, but the history implies conscientious upkeep by previous keepers.
