2022 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · LB22 MLL

The 2022 MINI Cooper S presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass at 26,393 miles on 19 June 2025. The maintenance trend reads as stable with no advisories or defects carried forward. The prior day's failure at 26,376 miles is anomalous: the tester recorded no defects yet issued a fail, which typically points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. At roughly four years old the car shows 26,393 miles, equating to near-typical use of about 6,598 miles per year. The record spans only the two June 2025 entries, so no long-term accumulation or gap can be judged. Low-to-moderate annual mileage of this order suggests lighter cycling of suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain seals than a high-mileage example would show. A buyer should still confirm the reason for the 18 June 2025 failure through DVSA correspondence, as the no-defect fail offers no mechanical clue. In person, check the front coil springs and rear suspension arms for corrosion or fatigue, and inspect brake calipers for binding given the car's periods of low use. With no advisories logged across either test, structural integrity and exhaust emissions met standard at last inspection. The sparse history gives no evidence of recurring wear, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible on a car with standing time implied by its mileage.
