2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · DA67 KXM

The 2017 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 53,732 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from July 2022 through July 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 27 July 2022 at 37,469 miles, reversed the next day on 28 July 2022 at 37,474 miles with a pass and no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 53,732 against roughly nine years of age, an average of about 5,970 miles per year. This is low for the model year. The odometer advanced from 37,474 in July 2022 to 42,444 by July 2023, then 48,343 in July 2024 and 53,732 in July 2025, showing steady yearly use near 5,000 miles. The clean record across all passes suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though low standing mileage can mask degraded suspension bushes or corroding brake discs unseen in a pass. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for early corrosion on structural members and subframes, as MINI platforms are prone to undertray rust where road salt sits. Check the front coil springs and rear trailing arm bushes for cracking from low-speed urban use. The brake calipers may show slight binding after long idle periods despite no advisory being raised. Given the sparse but clean history, no recurring mechanical trend is evident. The 2022 fail with no defect logged warrants a check of the original refusal reason via DVSA, but the immediate pass implies resolution. Overall the record supports a lightly used, well-kept example pending a physical inspection.
