2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · AV67 VPD

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 7 May 2025 at the recorded mileage of 65,443, with no advisories, failures, or defects logged. Across the five tests on file from 2022 through 2025, the record is consistent: every test resulted in a clean pass. The maintenance trend within the scope of MOT testing is stable, with no escalating concerns, recurring component flags, or structural items raised at any point. As of late August 2026, the current MOT certificate would be approaching expiry, and an up-to-date test should be arranged before any purchase proceeds. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,271 miles per year, which is broadly typical for a nine-year-old car. The test intervals are evenly spaced at roughly twelve months apart, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular rather than sporadic use. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 entries is narrow (27 April to 10 May 2024 to 7 May 2025), confirming continuity of annual testing. Mileage progression cannot be precisely tracked between tests because individual odometer readings at each attendance are not listed here, but no anomalies such as implausibly low or clocked figures are indicated by the data provided. With no advisories recorded across five tests, the MOT history itself reveals nothing requiring mechanical follow-up. In a physical inspection, attention should nevertheless be directed to areas the test would have scrutinised only at the point of assessment. Brake discs and pads, suspension bushes and coil springs, exhaust mounting and emissions behaviour under load, and any emerging corrosion on underbody or structural members should all be examined, particularly given the car is now nine years old. Fluid condition, tyre age (not just tread depth), and the state of the timing chain or auxiliary drive components on a 2017 MINI petrol engine are practical checks beyond what MOT paperwork can confirm. Records cannot establish whether the vehicle has been serviced outside of statutory testing, and a clean MOT history does not equate to a proven service schedule. A buyer should request documentation of cambelt or chain intervals, recent brake fluid changes, and any work carried out on the cooling system or clutch. The MOT data supports that the car has been presented for testing without recurring problems, which is a neutral, factual point rather than a judgement of overall care. Risk therefore remains moderate pending an in-person inspection, pre-purchase mechanical check, and confirmation of the next due test date.
