2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · LA63 LSA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean current MOT status. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 November 2025 at 101,279 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a test failure occurred in November 2024, the immediate re-test pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in addressing identified faults to maintain legal operation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,253 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 85,771 miles and November 2025 at 101,279 miles, the car covered 15,508 miles, showing a steady usage pattern without significant periods of neglect. The intervals between tests are regular, which supports a routine maintenance schedule rather than erratic usage patterns often associated with long periods of standing. Because the MOT history does not list long-term advisories, a buyer should still manually inspect the specific cause of the November 2024 failure at 97,487 miles to ensure the repair was not temporary. Given the mileage exceeding 100,000 miles, focus the physical inspection on the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which often suffer from wear at this stage. Check for signs of brake caliper corrosion or thinning on the discs, as these components are common points of wear on high-mileage MINI models despite a clean MOT record.
