2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · FH65 RXV

The 2015 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 39,944 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 20 March 2025 at 36,412 miles also showed a clean sheet. A failed entry exists on 20 March 2025 at the same mileage, yet the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear across the record. Mileage sits at 39,944 against an 11-year lifespan, an average of roughly 3,631 miles per year. The car was tested on 31 October 2022 at 24,790 miles, then not again until 15 January 2024 at 29,305 miles, a gap of about 14 months adding only 4,515 miles. From January 2024 to March 2025 the odometer rose 7,107 miles, then 3,532 miles to the 2026 test. The sparse, clean history and low annual use suggest a lightly driven vehicle, possibly stationary for extended periods, with no rapid accumulation or neglect indicators such as repeated tyre or wiper failures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. Standing time implied by low mileage risks perished rubber components, stiff handbrake cables, and flat-spotted tyres not captured in a static MOT. The January 2024 test at 29,305 miles predates the current 39,944 figure by over two years, so suspension arm bushes, coil springs, and brake caliper slide pins warrant hands-on checks for binding or weepage. No structural integrity concerns or recurring mechanical trends emerge from the DVLA data. Previous keepers maintained statutory testing discipline, though the 2025 duplicate failure hints at loose workshop administration rather than poor care.
