2021 MINI Cooper S Electric Collection Electric · LL71 AOA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on December 2 2025. While the maintenance trend appears stable in terms of major mechanical failures, the record indicates a shift toward age-related consumable degradation. The December 2025 test at 569 miles flagged advisories for slight cracking and perishing on both front and rear tyres, suggesting that the rubber compound is degrading due to age and lack of use rather than tread wear. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 114 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 413 miles and the December 2025 test at 569 miles, the car covered only 156 miles. Such minimal usage suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods. While this preserves mechanical components like the drivetrain and suspension, it often leads to secondary issues such as flat-spototted tyres and the drying of rubber seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres to assess the perishing noted in the 2025 record, as sidewall cracking requires immediate replacement regardless of remaining tread depth. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for brake corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Additionally, verify the condition of the battery and various fluids, as long periods of inactivity can lead to chemical breakdown or moisture ingress in electric vehicles.
