2023 MINI Cooper S Electric Level 2 Electric · HT72 GVJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-12 , conducted at exactly 19,711 miles , shows a rare but technically valid scenario where the same test date appears twice—once as a pass and once as a fail—before ultimately passing. This suggests either a procedural anomaly in the DVSA system or a rare instance of a vehicle being retested on the same day without intermediate issues. No defects were recorded in either entry, meaning the tester did not identify any major failures in brakes, suspension, emissions, or structural components during that window. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the record implies the vehicle cleared all mandatory MOT checks at that point, though the duplication warrants confirmation from the tester or previous owner regarding the circumstances. The recorded mileage of 19,711 miles over approximately three years (from the vehicle’s 2023 registration) equates to an average of 6,570 miles per year , which is typical for a lightly used urban vehicle. There are no gaps or spikes in mileage between tests to suggest prolonged neglect or rapid wear—both MOT entries align with the same mileage, indicating no intermediate service or significant usage changes. However, the lack of pre-MOT history means there is no data to assess whether earlier maintenance was consistent or whether components like suspension bushes, brake pads, or tyres were replaced proactively. The current mileage remains well below the 60,000-mile mark where more critical wear items (e.g., coil springs, binding calipers, or corrosion-prone areas) typically require closer scrutiny. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas that often fail silently between tests. Focus on the suspension —check for uneven tyre wear, cracked or compressed coil springs, and worn suspension bushes, as these rarely appear in MOT failures but can degrade over time. The brakes should be tested for binding calipers, uneven disc thickness, or excessive noise under braking, even though the MOT passed without defects. Corrosion is another critical factor; inspect wheel arches, sills, and underbody for rust that could compromise structural integrity, particularly in a vehicle with only 19,711 miles where early signs might not yet have triggered an advisory. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as minor emissions-related issues can sometimes slip through MOT testing if they are not visually obvious. The absence of advisories in the record does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional checks are essential.
