2019 MINI Cooper S 1.5L Petrol · DV19 AEC

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 45,436 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the emergence of chronic mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a seven year old vehicle. It covered 5,364 miles between December 2023 and November 2024, and a further 6,870 miles leading up to the December 2025 test. These figures indicate regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. A technical anomaly appears on 19 November 2024, where the vehicle failed and passed within two miles. As no specific defects were listed for either entry, this likely represents a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of any advisories regarding brake disc thickness, tyre tread, or suspension bush wear over the last four years is unusual for a car of this age and suggests a proactive approach to consumable replacement. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook, such as the condition of the service history for oil changes and filter replacements. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or suspension issues, a buyer should still check for any fluid leaks around the engine bay and verify the date codes on the tyres to ensure they have not perished despite having legal tread depth.
