2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · DA71 NFG

The 2022 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 9,809 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean result from 29 January 2025 at 7,578 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories indicate the vehicle has not entered any pattern of recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage record shows light use for a four-year-old car. Between the January 2025 test at 7,578 miles and the January 2026 test at 9,809 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,231 miles, giving an annual average near 2,452 miles since registration. Such low accumulation points to short local journeys or extended standing periods rather than motorway wear. The DVSA history is sparse, with just two entries and no failures, so the data gives no evidence of skipped maintenance or neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage and probable long idle spells raise the risk of perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on brake discs or underbody mounts that a static MOT bay may not expose under load. The tester logged no suspension bushes, coil spring, or exhaust emission concerns, yet these items degrade with time as much as distance. Given the absence of any advisories across both tests, no specific structural or mechanical weakness is flagged in the official data. Prospective owners should verify service history matches the low mileage and confirm the brake calipers are free and the tyres retain tread after standing. The vehicle's documented condition supports a sound purchase subject to those routine checks.
