2017 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · LR17 ACO

The vehicle displays a stable and clean roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 34,476 miles without any recorded defects or advisories. While the record shows a technical failure on the same date as the pass, the absence of listed defects suggests this was a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a genuine mechanical failure. The history remains remarkably consistent, with no recurring faults or deteriorating components noted across the previous four tests. The total mileage of 34,476 over nine years confirms a low-usage profile, averaging approximately 3,831 miles annually. The intervals between tests show steady, light accumulation, with the most significant jump occurring between December 2023 and September 2024, when the vehicle covered roughly 5,200 miles. This pattern indicates the car has not been subjected to long periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The consistent pass rate suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard, avoiding the common neglect often associated with low-mileage examples. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that age regardless of mileage, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the engine bay hoses. Given the age of the vehicle, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage cars often suffer from under-use of the braking system. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface rust on the subframes or exhaust system mounts. While the MOT history is clean, verify that the service book confirms regular oil changes, as low-mileage MINI Cooper S engines rely on fresh lubrication to prevent timing chain wear and carbon buildup in the intake tract.
