2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · JR10 APR

The 2022 MINI Cooper presents a clean test history with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA examination on 4 March 2026 at 20,620 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 5 March 2025 at 17,474 miles and 13 March 2024 at 14,647 miles also delivered passes with zero advisories. This uninterrupted sequence of clearances across three consecutive annual inspections shows the vehicle has not developed any flagged mechanical or structural concerns in its first four years. Mileage pattern relative to age indicates light use. The odometer progressed from 14,647 miles at the March 2024 test to 17,474 miles by March 2025, a 2,827-mile interval, then to 20,620 miles by March 2026, a 3,146-mile interval. Against a build date of 2022, the average annual distance sits near 5,155 miles, markedly below typical private car averages. Each test fell within days of the previous year's date, and the sparse but unblemished record implies the former keeper maintained timely MOT compliance and likely used the car for short journeys or extended storage rather than neglecting upkeep. With no defects or advisories logged in suspension, brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, the buyer encounters no documented recurring faults. Still, the low mileage and probable standing periods call for a physical inspection of time-dependent components. A technician should check brake discs for corrosion and calipers for binding, scrutinise tyre sidewalls for perishing, and assess suspension bushes for age-related degradation. Underbody and sill areas warrant a visual corrosion check given the vehicle's four-year age, despite the clean paper history.
