2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · AF65 ABK

The 2015 MINI Cooper presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent DVSA test on 20 August 2025 at 52,765 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the five consecutive annual tests from 2021 to 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken pass record indicates consistent statutory compliance and no worsening mechanical trend over the four-year window. Annual mileage sat at a low average of roughly 4,800 miles per year against the car's eleven-year age. The records show steady, low accumulation: 38,576 miles in August 2021, rising to 42,663 in August 2022, 46,170 in August 2023, 49,702 in August 2024, and 52,765 in August 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence. The sparse but clean history offers little evidence of neglect, though long stationary periods common with low-use cars cannot be ruled out from the test data alone. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop perished rubber components and seized handbrake mechanisms unseen by the MOT lane. Structural underbody corrosion around subframes and sills warrants checking despite the absence of advisories, given the vehicle's age and potential damp storage. Verify the actual condition of tyres, brake discs, and exhaust emissions during a road test, since the clean record provides no consumable-wear baseline. The previous owner clearly kept the car to pass standard, but official tests capture only test-day state, not latent deterioration from light use.
