2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · DP67 AHJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, showing a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 37,029 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical and consumable issues have been successfully addressed. This clean sheet in recent tests suggests that the current ownership is proactive regarding necessary repairs identified by the DVSA tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,114 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, moving from 13,613 miles in early 2022 to 37,029 miles by early 2026. While low mileage typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to age or the vehicle sitting sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rubber components and braking system. During the January 2024 test at 25,281 miles, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and perishing on both rear tyres. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests without issue, the low annual mileage means tyres may suffer from dry rot or cracking before the tread depth reaches legal limits. Inspect the sidewalls for any hairline fractures and check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-frequency use can lead to oxidation buildup on the rotors.
