2021 MINI Cooper S Electric Level 3 Electricity · FV71 HLF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a slight decline in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its December 2024 test without defects, the follow-up test in January 2026 at 48,119 miles resulted in a failure before subsequent rectification. This trend suggests that while the core mechanical components of the electric drivetrain appear stable, the owner is addressing minor-related items and consumables only after they reach an MOT failure threshold. At a recorded mileage of 48,119 miles over five years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,600 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a modern electric car. The 11,312 miles covered between the December 2024 and January 2026 tests represent a period of high usage relative to the short timeframe. This rapid accumulation explains the accelerated wear observed on the nearside front tyre and the components flagged in the most recent failure. A buyer must physically inspect the nearside front tyre as the January 2026 record flagged it as being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The failure regarding headlamp aim on both sides suggests the units may have been jarred out of alignment by vibration or impact. Additionally, the crack in the nearside upper windscreen requires monitoring to ensure it does not propagate into the driver's field of view or compromise the structural integrity of the glass over time.
