2020 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · GD20 OES

The vehicle currently maintains a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 25 February 2026. While the record shows a dual entry on that date consisting of a failure followed by an immediate pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests the initial failure was likely a procedural or administrative error rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections since 2023 without a single advisory notice, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition throughout its recent history. The total recorded mileage of 7,768 miles over six years confirms a pattern of light, intermittent use. The vehicle accumulated approximately 828 miles between the February 2023 and February 2024 tests, followed by a slightly higher usage of 2,871 miles leading into the 2025 inspection. This low annual mileage is consistent with a vehicle that spends significant time stationary, which can sometimes lead to issues with seized brake components or degraded rubber seals that do not always manifest during a standard MOT test. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration during prolonged periods of inactivity. Although the MOT history is clean, check the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting caused by lack of regular use. Inspect the sidewalls of the tyres for age-related cracking and verify that the suspension bushes remain supple rather than perished. The engine bay and underside appear to have avoided structural issues, but a visual check for perished hoses or fluid leaks remains a prudent step given the vehicle's low-mileage profile.
