2017 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · GY17 ABF

This vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record of technical compliance. The most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 42,922 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the history shows two instances of initial failure on the same day as the pass in May 2023 and May 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified immediately during the appointment. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 4,769 miles per year. The distance covered between May 2023 and May 2024 was 7,914 miles, while the subsequent year saw a slight increase to 6,182 miles. This consistent, low-volume usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear or aggressive commuting cycles. Because the MOT history is unusually clean and lacks any advisories for wear and tear, a buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, flat-spotted tyres, or moisture buildup in the exhaust system. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to oxidation that affects stopping efficiency. Inspect the battery health and fluid levels carefully. Cars that spend long periods standing can experience premature battery failure or sludge buildup in the engine oil. Verify that the tyres are within their legal age limit, as the rubber may harden and crack even if the tread depth remains high.
