2021 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · LC21 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on 20 April 2026 at 43,332 miles. While the record shows a failure just one week prior to that pass at 43,260 miles, the issue was clearly rectified immediately. The lack of recorded advisories or defects across the last three successful tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances without showing a trend of degradation or recurring faults. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,666 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 32,942 miles and the April 2025 test at 38,572 miles, the car covered 5,630 miles, followed by another 4,760 miles leading to the April 2026 inspection. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber seals and preventing brake components from seizing. Given that the MOT history is clean of specific advisories regarding suspension bushes, exhaust corrosion, or brake wear, a physical inspection should focus on high-performance consumables that the MOT does not fully test. A buyer should check for even wear on the tyres and the condition of the brake pads, given the JCW Works specifications. Since the record shows no previous structural failures, the vehicle shows no red flags regarding the chassis integrity or primary mechanical assemblies.
