Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status as of the 14 November 2025 test at 80,358 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry on the same date with zero defects suggests an administrative error or a retest following a minor non-mechanical rejection, resolved immediately by the subsequent pass. Recorded mileage sits at 80,358 against an eleven-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,305 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a 2015 MINI Cooper S. The gap between the 26 April 2024 failure at 76,124 miles and the 12 June 2024 pass at 76,146 shows only 22 miles added in seven weeks, implying the car was off the road briefly for correction. From June 2024 to November 2025 the odometer rose just over 4,200 miles, confirming light annual running with no rapid accumulation or standing-related deterioration evident in the data. The DVSA record exposes no recurring faults, corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches across any test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers, as MOT cleanliness does not certify component life between tests. Given the sparse but consistent pass history, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance without neglected consumables.
