2019 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · EA69 FNE

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness status with a currently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 32,510 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that all safety-critical components currently meet the minimum DVSA standards. Following a specific failure in early 2024, the car has maintained two consecutive clean passes, suggesting the current owner is responsive to identified maintenance requirements. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a consistent pattern of usage between annual tests, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between 2023 and 2024, and another 7,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading due to age and long stationary periods rather than physical friction. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the failure in March 2024 at 19,022 miles highlighted a structural tear in the nearside front tyre and perishing on the rear sidewalls. While these were replaced to rectify the failure, low-use vehicles often suffer from dry rot despite high tread depth. Given the age of the car, a physical check of the suspension bushes and brake discs is necessary to ensure that the lack of use has not led to excessive corrosion or seizing of the braking calipers.
