2015 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Diesel · JA11 BBB

The 2015 MINI Cooper S presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 102,552 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 16 November 2024 test at 98,244 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the five-year record. Mileage sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old car. The record shows 82,947 miles in December 2022, rising to 91,633 by December 2023, then 98,244 in November 2024, and 102,552 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 9,300 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or long dormant periods. The clean pass history with no advisories suggests the previous owner kept basic consumable and mechanical upkeep current. The 15 November 2024 failure at 98,244 miles is anomalous. The DVSA entry shows a fail with no defects recorded, followed one day later by a pass at identical mileage. This pattern typically indicates an administrative or data-recording error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault. No corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues appear anywhere in the sequence. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and suspension components given the car's age. The MOT record offers no evidence of binding calipers, worn coil springs, or tyre neglect, but a clean test sheet does not measure remaining pad thickness or incipient subframe rust. Verify service history to confirm the lack of advisories reflects real care rather than lenient testing.
