2021 MINI Cooper S Electric Level 3 Electric · FV71 ENW

The 2021 MINI Cooper S Electric Level 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 18,543 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean result from 16 October 2024 at 15,035 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories indicates the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied DVSA inspection criteria. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical expectations for a five-year-old car. The record shows just 3,508 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025, and a total of 18,543 miles since first registration. This low annual average of roughly 3,700 miles suggests predominantly light use, though extended standing periods common with low-mileage EVs can accelerate tyre sidewall degradation and brake caliper seizing that a clean MOT may not yet expose. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the braking system despite the absence of recorded faults. Electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative deceleration, which leaves mechanical disc brakes lightly used and prone to surface corrosion or binding calipers after idle spells. The tester noted no such condition, but visual checks of brake discs, caliper movement, and suspension bushes remain prudent given the car's low rolling activity. Tyre condition warrants direct examination given the vehicle's likely long stationary intervals. Low-mileage cars often wear tyres through age cracking rather than tread loss, a factor outside MOT scope at the recorded dates. Verify tread depth, sidewall integrity, and battery cooling system function before purchase, as the official history offers no evidence of deferred consumable neglect but equally reveals nothing beneath the surface.
