2017 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · AV17 YDO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 May 2025 at 77,088 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a successful re-test in May 2024 after a single failure, suggesting the previous owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues once they are identified. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 54,937 miles and May 2025 at 77,088 miles, the car covered over 22,000 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The 10,000-mile gap between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests aligns with typical annual usage, which helps to prevent the premature degradation of rubber components and brake seals often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the recent records are clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the common wear points for this generation of MINI. Given the mileage and age, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or cracking, as these often fatigue. The failure recorded in May 2024, though rectified, suggests that a specific component—such as a faulty bulb or a minor leak—required attention. You should examine the brake discs for uneven wear or binding and inspect the underbody for surface corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean MOT history.
