2021 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · M31 DAX

The 2026-03-23 MOT at 25,713 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. The mileage trajectory reveals a low annual usage of roughly 5,143 miles, with the 2024-03-01 test at 10,935 miles followed by a 5,431‑mile increase to 16,366 miles by 2025-03-07 and a further 9,347‑mile rise to the current 25,713 miles in 2026. The relatively sparse testing intervals and consistent low mileage suggest the car has spent considerable time stationary, though the 2024 test flagged near‑side front tyre wear close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, a pattern that warrants closer inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of binding or corrosion, verify that the rear brake calipers move freely and that the brake discs show even wear, and check the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for any rust that could compromise strength. Particular attention to the tyre condition, wheel alignment and the condition of the exhaust system is advisable, given the edge‑wear pattern observed in the 2024 record. Overall, the vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance history with no recurring mechanical failures, but the early tyre wear and low mileage imply that previous owners may have allowed the car to sit for extended periods, a factor that should be confirmed during an in‑person inspection.
