2023 MINI Cooper Classic Auto 1.5L Petrol · KE72 EDR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on January 22, 2026, at 36,633 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a technical failure just two days prior at 36,331 miles. The fact that the tester recorded no specific defects despite the failure status suggests either an administrative error in the filing or a minor non-compliance that was rectified immediately. This does not indicate a systemic mechanical failure or structural deficiency. At 36,633 miles over three years, this MINI has averaged approximately 12,211 miles per annum. This figure sits above the national average for a small city car, indicating consistent use which typically accelerates the wear on consumable components. The short 300-mile gap between the failure and the pass in January 2026 suggests the owner was proactive in addressing immediate issues to bring the vehicle back into compliance within a very short timeframe. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most affected by higher-than-average annual mileage. Given the mileage, a close check of the suspension bushes, coil spring condition, and the thickness of the brake pads and discs is essential. While the MOT record is clean of structural corrosion alerts, the frequent usage suggests that the drivetrain components and rubber seals may be nearing the end of their optimal intervals sooner than a low-mileage equivalent.
