2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · AF65 PBO

The 2015 MINI COOPER demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent September 2025 inspection at 49,296 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance since 2022, with all tests passing without advisories. A single failed test on 2022-09-21 at 31,314 miles is noted, but no defects were recorded, suggesting either a clerical error or a non-critical issue resolved before retesting. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the history indicates the car has been well-maintained, though the low mileage raises questions about usage patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 49,296 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 4,481 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This suggests either limited use or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like rubber seals, batteries, and suspension bushes. Notably, the 2024-09-10 test at 42,866 miles showed no defects, but the 11-month gap between that test and the 2025-09-22 inspection may indicate infrequent motoring. The MOT history lacks data on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades, which could signal incomplete records or minimal wear. A buyer should conduct a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs and bushes, given the low mileage’s potential to mask hidden wear. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as inactivity can lead to seized components. Structural integrity is not flagged in the records, but the 2022-09-21 failed test—despite no defects—warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s history for unrecorded issues. Overall, the MOT data supports a mechanically sound vehicle, but the low mileage and sparse records necessitate a thorough pre-purchase examination.
