2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · JP51 PET

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 48,143 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, indicating a car that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the recurring failures often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage is low for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 5,349 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and predictable, rising from 25,536 miles in November 2021 to 48,143 miles by September 2025. There are no erratic jumps or long periods of stagnation that would suggest the vehicle was abandoned or used for short, damaging urban trips. Because the DVSA records show no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion over the last five years, there are no specific red flags to highlight. However, low mileage vehicles can suffer from perished rubber components or seized brake calipers if they spend too much time stationary. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and a check of the brake fluid moisture levels. The absence of any recorded defects suggests a previous owner who prioritised preventative maintenance. A buyer should verify that the service history matches this clean MOT record, specifically looking for oil change intervals that align with the low annual mileage to ensure the engine has not suffered from oil dilution or sludge buildup.
