2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · KS22 DSO

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with no defects or advisories recorded across its available testing history. This stable trend is confirmed by the most recent pass on 1 June 2026, which followed a similarly clean result in June 2025. The recorded mileage of 40,285 miles over approximately four years represents a typical annual accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles. This usage profile suggests a standard rate of wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components, avoiding both the accelerated degradation associated with high-mileage vehicles and the potential for seizure or perished seals often found in cars that have stood for long periods. In the absence of flagged defects in the MOT records, there are no specific failures such as suspension linkage wear or subframe corrosion to investigate. A test drive should instead focus on identifying any emerging wear; listen for knocks or clicks from the front suspension over speed bumps and ensure there is no vibration or pull through the steering wheel during high-speed cruising. Attention should be paid to the condition of the brake discs and pads to ensure there is no excessive scoring or uneven wear, and the brake pedal should be checked for a firm, consistent response without judder. While the DVSA records show no issues with exhaust emissions or oil leaks, a visual inspection for any fresh oil misting around the engine seals would provide a complete mechanical overview.
