2020 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · AV20 AEY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, dated 23 April 2025 at 25,567 miles, recorded a pass. The preceding test on 17 April 2025 at 25,560 miles failed, though no defects were logged. The trend is stable; the brief failure and immediate pass indicate a minor, resolved issue. Mileage progression shows 14,802 miles in March 2023, rising to 21,920 miles by April 2024 – an increase of 7,118 miles in roughly 13 months. The next year added only 3,640 miles to reach 25,560 miles, and just seven more miles by 23 April 2025. The low annual average of about 4,300 miles reflects light use or periods of storage, which reduces wear on consumables but does not eliminate age‑related degradation. A buyer should inspect the brake assembly for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as the recent failure suggests a possible brake‑related fault. Suspension bushes and coil springs merit close scrutiny for corrosion or hardening, despite the low mileage. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition are essential; low mileage can mask ageing rubber. Finally, examine the underbody and wheel arches for structural corrosion, and confirm that the MOT is current before taking the car on the road.
