2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · LD67 AAO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass on its most recent MOT test in October 2023 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, showing consistent passing results over the last several years. While there was a failure recorded in early 2022, the issues were rectified immediately, and the subsequent inspections indicate that the car meets all legal safety and environmental standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between February 2021 and January 2022, where the car covered only 8,105 miles in nearly a year, followed by a more regular accumulation of 5,669 miles by October 2023. This low mileage suggests the engine has seen minimal strain, though it also indicates that the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focused on components typically affected by low-mileage sitting-time, such as rubber seals, bushings, and suspension components, which can perish or perish over time irrespective of distance traveled. Given the failure in January 2022, it is advisable to verify the current state of the braking system and tyres to ensure no new issues developed. Additionally, checking for fluid leaks or light corrosion on the brake discs is prudent, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust if not driven regularly.
