2021 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · FH70 AVX

The 2021 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 13,318 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean history across all three available MOT entries. The recorded mileage shows very light use for a five-year-old vehicle. The January 2024 test at 6,411 miles and the October 2024 test at 7,922 miles indicate only 1,511 miles covered across nine months. By September 2025 the odometer read 13,318 miles, meaning roughly 5,396 miles accrued in the following eleven months. Annual averages sit near 2,664 miles. Such low totals suggest extended standing periods rather than daily driving, though the sparse three-entry record limits deeper trend analysis. With no advisories or failures logged, the DVLA data reveals no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the car's age and likely static storage. Standing vehicles often develop flat-spotted tyres, seized calipers, and surface corrosion on structural members even when MOT results stay clean. Verify the service history matches the low mileage and confirm fluids were changed on time despite limited use. The absent defect record is reassuring, but only a workshop check will expose latent wear hidden by infrequent motion.
