2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · GU22 RYC

The most recent 2026‑06‑26 test resulted in a failure, meaning the vehicle is not currently roadworthy until the listed defects are remedied. The maintenance trend shows worsening condition, as the vehicle passed at 37,776 miles in June 2025 but failed at 47,733 miles a year later, indicating increased wear and recurring faults. The mileage rose from 37,776 miles in 2025‑06‑17 to 47,733 miles by the 2026‑06‑26 test, an increase of 9,957 miles in one year, which aligns with the vehicle’s typical annual mileage of about 11,900 miles but suggests consistent, possibly heavy use. No MOT entries exist between mid‑2025 and mid‑2026, so the gap is filled only by this single year’s mileage jump; the overall progression is steady but not improving. A buyer should inspect the seat‑belt system thoroughly, confirming the integrity of the central rear buckle and the child‑seat anchorage, as the recorded deficiencies point to potential structural or interior modifications affecting restraint safety. The 2025 tyre wear advisory and the 2026 failure indicating binding rear brakes (7.1.2 (d)) require a detailed check of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, discs and pads, as well as assessment of rear braking performance and any signs of corrosion or structural rust.
