2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · CV17 PLU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test on March 31 2026 at 51,450 miles passed despite two minor advisories regarding an offside front tyre worn near the legal limit and a deteriorated rear registration plate. These represent basic consumable wear rather than mechanical failure, following a significant period of clean-sheet results recorded between 2023 and 2025. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage urban vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 32,172 miles and March 2026 at 51,450 miles, the car covered 19,278 miles. This low annual mileage typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though the low frequency of use can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between tests. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension alignment, as the 2026 advisory noted the offside tyre was worn on the edge, suggesting a potential tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, the low mileage warrants a check of the brake discs for pitting or rust due to inactivity. The previously of a defective wiper blade in 2022 indicates minor preventative maintenance was addressed only when flagged by the tester.
