2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · FL67 FSG

The 2017 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 35,010 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects over the observed period. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a nine-year-old vehicle. It covered 27,847 miles at the 11 December 2023 test, rose to 31,506 miles by 7 December 2024, and reached 35,010 miles by December 2025. That equates to roughly 3,500 to 3,900 miles per year, confirming a low-mileage profile with no abrupt accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only a single failed test on 11 December 2023 at 27,847 miles that recorded no defects and was immediately re-tested and passed the same day, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of flagged wear across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the MOT record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current and the car was not subjected to harsh duty cycles. Low standing mileage can still allow perishable components to degrade unseen. A buyer should physically verify tyre sidewall condition, brake caliper freedom after prolonged storage, and underside structural integrity for superficial rust not yet at test-threshold levels. In-person checks should focus on the front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes for age-related cracking, plus a cold-start emissions reading to confirm the low-use pattern has not caused fuelling trim drift. The clean history justifies confidence, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible given the car's light annual use since 2022.
