2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · DP67 AEU

This 2017 MINI Cooper presents a clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 10 May 2025 at 61,581 miles showing no defects—a strong indicator of stable roadworthiness. The absence of advisories or failures in the past 12 months suggests consistent upkeep, though the duplicate 25 April 2024 entry (one pass, one fail at the same mileage) is anomalous and likely a clerical error rather than a mechanical issue. No recurring faults appear across the record, and the vehicle has passed all tests since 29 April 2022 , reinforcing that major components—brakes, suspension, steering, and structural integrity—have remained within DVSA thresholds. The lack of corrosion advisories also points to minimal exposure to harsh conditions or neglect. The mileage accumulation of 61,581 miles over nine years aligns with typical usage for its age, averaging around 6,842 miles annually , which is neither excessively high nor low. The gaps between tests—roughly 12 months apart —are standard, with no sudden spikes or prolonged inactivity that might suggest abuse or disuse. The only irregularity is the 9,506-mile jump between the 2024 and 2025 tests , but this still reflects moderate driving rather than aggressive use. Without advisories for wear items like tyres or brakes, there’s no evidence of deferred maintenance. For a buyer, the primary focus should be on consumable wear —tyre tread depth, brake pad thickness, and fluid levels—since these aren’t covered by MOT but degrade with mileage. Given the clean history, structural checks like subframe corrosion, suspension bushes, and coil springs can be visually inspected for signs of fatigue or leakage. The absence of brake-related advisories in recent tests suggests no binding calipers or glazed discs, but a pre-purchase test would confirm current condition. No major mechanical red flags emerge from the record, but a thorough undercarriage inspection for rust or fluid leaks remains prudent.
