2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · DA08 SYM

The 2017 MINI Cooper presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 98,377 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least February 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five available records, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT scope during this period. Annual mileage sits close to the typical 10,931 miles per year for a nine-year-old car. The records show 57,917 miles in February 2022, rising to 68,884 by January 2023, 81,497 by January 2024, then a sharp 14,647-mile jump to 96,144 by January 2025, before a modest 2,233 miles to the January 2026 test. The 2023 to 2025 span reflects heavier use than earlier years, though the clean test outcomes suggest the drivetrain and consumables coped without flagged wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and the elevated mileage accumulated between 2024 and 2025. The MOT record shows no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet nine years of service can conceal underbody rust or degraded mounts not visible during a standard test. Verify service history matches the odometer jumps and confirm tyres, wiper blades and exhaust emissions remain within limits, as these consumables fall outside MOT fail criteria until worn critically. The absence of advisories implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but physical checks remain prudent before purchase.
