2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · B5 WJO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 12 April 2025 at 32,170 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of clean passes across the last five inspections. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during its service life. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,574 miles annually. There is a notable gap between the May 2022 test at 15,963 miles and the March 2023 test at 26,222 miles, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in under a year. Since then, usage has returned to a lower cadence of roughly 3,000 miles per year. This low mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of component stagnation due to long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. Buyers should check the rubber-based elements, such as suspension bushes and tyre boots, for cracking or perish rot which occurs with age regardless of distance. Brake discs should also be examined for surface corrosion or pitting if the vehicle sat stationary for long intervals. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres to ensure the rubber has not hardened despite having sufficient tread depth.
