2020 MINI Cooper S Sidewalk Auto 2.0L Petrol · AF70 MBO

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 13,483 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in August 2024 at 10,878 miles and August 2023 at 5,850 miles also passed clean, showing no recurring advisories or worsening condition across the record. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old car. From 5,850 miles in August 2023 the odometer rose to 10,878 miles by August 2024, then to 13,483 miles by August 2025, averaging roughly 2,247 miles per year. The sparse, clean history with no flagged wear items reflects light use, though long standing periods between short trips can allow corrosion or seized components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake calipers, and underbody structure despite the clean MOT trail. Low annual mileage and the same-day fail-pass in 2025 warrant checking for fluid degradation, flat-spotted tyres, and binding brakes from disuse. The DVSA record shows no structural rust or exhaust faults, but the absence of advisories does not certify component health beyond test-day conditions.
