2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · DF67 BMO

The vehicle maintains a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend over the recent years. The most recent inspection in September 2025 at 38,462 miles resulted in a pass despite identifying a split nearside front shock absorber dust cover. This represents a minor wear item rather than a mechanical failure, and it follows two clean reports from the 2024 and 2023 tests where the vehicle met all standards without any recorded defects. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,274 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between November 2022 at 28,812 miles and December 2023 at 35,326 miles, where the car covered over 6,500 miles in thirteen months. Since then, usage has slowed significantly, with only 3,136 miles recorded over the last two years. This low mileage suggests light use but can sometimes lead to rubber components degrading if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the split shock absorber cover noted in 2025 has not allowed oil to leak from the damper, which would indicate imminent component failure. The 2022 advisory regarding front tyres worn to the legal limit on the edges suggests previous alignment issues or uneven wear patterns that should be verified against the current tyre condition. Given the lack of any recorded structural corrosion or brake binding issues, the primary focus should remain on the condition of rubber bushings and seals that may age over time despite low-mileage operation.
