2013 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · E5 BTR

The 2017 MINI Cooper S presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 28 August 2025 at 104,682 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on this most recent test, mirroring the previous two annual assessments. A single anomalous entry appears on 2 March 2023 at 84,742 miles, where the vehicle failed despite the record showing no defects listed; this was rectified immediately the following day at the exact same mileage with a clean pass. Overall, the mechanical condition appears well-maintained, with no recurring faults or advisories indicating systemic deterioration. The vehicle has covered 104,682 miles over nine years, averaging roughly 11,631 miles annually, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters. The mileage accumulation shows a healthy spread of short and long journeys rather than purely urban stasis. Between the March 2023 retest and the September 2023 test, the odometer advanced by 5,923 miles over six months. The subsequent annual intervals saw 8,617 miles added by September 2024, followed by a slower accumulation of 5,400 miles leading up to the August 2025 test. Notably, the vehicle has recorded zero miles since its last MOT ten months ago, suggesting either prolonged stationary storage or a gap in testing that warrants direct questioning of the seller. Despite the absence of recorded defects, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity and wear components typical of a performance hatchback at this mileage. Examine the subframes and suspension mounting points for corrosion, alongside the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes, which degrade under the increased loads of the Cooper S variant. The braking system requires close scrutiny for binding calipers and uneven disc wear, common issues when a vehicle sits unused. Given the ten-month gap with no recorded mileage, check the tyres for flat spots and assess the exhaust emissions system for any moisture-related corrosion that can occur during extended stationary periods.
