2022 MINI Cooper S Electric Level 3 Electric · LC72 CCZ

The most recent MOT, carried out on 10 September 2025, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at that time. With only a single MOT entry available, there is no evidence of a deteriorating trend; the absence of failures suggests a stable maintenance record up to the latest test, although the limited history means future reliability will depend on how the car has been cared for between tests. At four years old the MINI Cooper S Electric has logged just 14 271 miles, translating to an average of roughly 3 600 miles per annum. This is considerably below the typical UK average for a vehicle of its class and points to either very light daily usage or extended periods of inactivity. Low mileage reduces cumulative wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension bushings, but prolonged standing can encourage tyre sidewall perishing, battery self‑discharge, and corrosion of under‑body components. There are no obvious spikes in mileage that would indicate a period of intensive use, so the wear pattern is likely to be uniform and modest. For a prospective buyer the primary focus should be on age‑related checks rather than mileage‑driven wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or any signs of age‑related hardening, and verify the tread depth is still within legal limits; tyres older than six years should be replaced regardless of tread. Examine the high‑voltage battery health by requesting a recent state‑of‑charge and capacity report from the dealer or a qualified service centre, and confirm that the vehicle remains within the manufacturer’s warranty period for the battery pack. Look for any corrosion around the charging port, high‑voltage cable joints and under the chassis, especially if the car has been stored outdoors, and ensure that the coolant for the electric motor and inverter is at the correct level and has been serviced according to the service schedule. Although regenerative braking reduces wear on the conventional brake system, the mechanical discs and pads still require periodic inspection; check for uneven disc wear, scoring or excessive rust that could affect braking performance. Verify that the brake fluid has been changed within the recommended two‑year interval, as fluid degradation can lead to spongy pedal feel. Finally, confirm that all software updates have been applied, that the interior and exterior lighting functions correctly, and that the service book shows regular scheduled servicing. Paying particular attention to these time‑based items will give a clear picture of the car’s overall roadworthiness despite its low mileage.
