2019 MINI Cooper S 1.5L Petrol · AN69 LAB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test without any major failures. The test conducted in November 2025 at 16,814 miles indicated a pass, though it highlighted an offside front tyre worn near the legal limit and showing edge wear. This suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven handling rather than a mechanical failure, but the overall maintenance trend remains stable across the last four years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 7,293 miles and November 2024 at 14,071 miles, the car covered fewer than 3,400 miles annually. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion on brake surfaces. The 2023 test at 10,922 miles noted that under shields prevented a thorough inspection of the underside, which leaves a gap in the documented structural history for that specific period. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension and steering to address the edge wear noted in the 2025 record. Check for perished bushes or cracked control arm components, as low-use vehicles often suffer from dry rot. Given the low mileage, verify that the brake discs are free of heavy pitting from inactivity and that the calipers are not seized. A close look at the underside is also necessary to bypass the previous limitations on inspection and ensure no hidden corrosion has developed while the shields were obstructing the tester's view.
