2020 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · FG20 HPZ

The 2020 MINI Cooper S presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 31,033 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects recorded points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits low at roughly 5,172 miles per year against the car's six-year age, with the odometer reading 21,451 miles at the 21 June 2023 test, 27,825 miles at 10 May 2024, and 31,033 miles by April 2025. The gaps show consistent light use of around 6,000 miles annually. Such low accumulation limits wear on consumables and drivetrain parts, though prolonged standing between short trips can allow corrosion or flat-spotted tyres to develop unseen. The record itself is sparse and clean, offering no flagged items to track. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's low-use profile and the absence of tester advisories to confirm hidden degradation. Check underneath for structural rust on subframes and sills, as MOT passes at low mileage do not rule out early corrosion from damp storage. Verify the tyres for sidewall cracking and even wear from inactivity. The duplicated 22 April 2025 entries with a fail and pass at matching mileage warrant a check of the DVSA portal to confirm the failure was a clerical error. Beyond that, the Cooper S shows no evidence of skipped upkeep and reflects careful, infrequent use by prior keepers.
