2022 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · DC72 LRF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-07-11 at 15,181 miles, confirmed roadworthiness with no defects. A prior test on 2025-06-25 at 15,117 miles also showed no issues. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no emerging faults or recurring advisories. However, the interval between tests was just 16 days, during which mileage increased by only 64 miles, suggesting minimal usage. This raises concerns about potential inactivity-related wear, such as degraded rubber components or corrosion, despite the absence of recorded defects. The vehicle’s low mileage of 15,181 over four years equates to approximately 3,795 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This pattern may indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on systems like the battery, tyres, and suspension. The sparse MOT history, with no advisories or failures, does not confirm proactive maintenance beyond basic compliance. Buyers should verify if the car has remained in regular use or if extended storage has impacted mechanical integrity. No structural or mechanical faults were flagged in the MOT records, but the low mileage and expired MOT (as of 2026-07-08) necessitate an in-person inspection. Focus on the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, brake components for corrosion or binding, and the exhaust system for leaks. Check tyre condition, as low usage can cause dry rot, and confirm the battery’s health. The absence of recorded issues is positive, but the lack of recent MOT data means the vehicle’s current compliance and mechanical state remain unverified.
