2021 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · DE51 AMY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on July 17, 2025. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date at 26,401 miles, the subsequent pass indicates that any identified defects were rectified immediately before the retest. The maintenance trend appears stable, as there have been no recorded instances of recurring mechanical failures or structural advisories across the last two testing cycles. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,280 miles per annum. Between the July 2024 test at 20,685 miles and the July 2025 test at 26,401 miles, the car covered 5,716 miles. This consistent usage suggests light travel, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though low mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on components most affected by low-mileage use. Inspect the tyres for signs of cracking or uneven wear and check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting that can occur from infrequent use. Since the MOT record does not flag specific suspension issues, a manual check of the rubber bushes and control arms is advisable to ensure they have not perished despite the age of the vehicle.
