2022 MINI Cooper S 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · KA11 NUN

The most recent MOT test on 4 December 2025 at 37,822 miles confirmed the vehicle as roadworthy with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past year, as the preceding test—also passed without failings—occurred in December 2024 at 28,372 miles. The absence of advisories or recurring issues suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical or structural concerns during this period. However, the test date is now just six months old, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Buyers should note that while the MOT history is clean, the lack of advisories does not preclude underlying wear that may not yet have reached failure thresholds. The recorded mileage of 37,822 miles over approximately four years aligns with typical usage patterns for this model, averaging around 9,456 miles annually. There are no gaps in the MOT record to suggest prolonged periods of disuse, nor are there signs of rapid mileage accumulation that might indicate aggressive driving or deferred maintenance. The consistency of mileage accumulation implies the vehicle has been operated regularly, which generally correlates with more predictable wear patterns. That said, the low mileage relative to its age could also suggest periods of limited use, which might affect certain components like suspension bushes or fluid levels if the vehicle was stored without proper care. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on consumable items that are not routinely tested under MOT but degrade predictably over time. The brakes—particularly the rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee they have been serviced. Suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, warrant scrutiny for stiffness or leaks, especially if the vehicle has experienced uneven loading or off-road use. Tyre condition, beyond the MOT’s tread depth requirement, should be assessed for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Finally, inspect for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as the vehicle’s age and mileage make it susceptible to structural weakening if previous owners neglected rust prevention.
