2022 MINI Clubman Cooper Shadow ED Auto 1.5L Petrol · MA22 OKT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-04 at 27,219 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects recorded. However, the prior test on 2026-04-02 at the same mileage resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or unresolved technical issue. The 2025-03-17 test at 20,282 miles also passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance record over the past 18 months. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the data, though the failed test raises questions about its cause. The vehicle’s mileage of 27,219 miles aligns closely with the expected 6,805 miles per year for its four-year age, reflecting consistent usage. The gap between the 2025-03-17 test (20,282 miles) and the 2026-04-04 test (27,219 miles) covers 6,937 miles over 13 months, slightly exceeding the annual average but not significantly. No prolonged inactivity or rapid accumulation is indicated, and the MOT history lacks gaps that might suggest neglect. The absence of defects in the last two tests supports the conclusion that the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. A buyer should verify the circumstances of the 2026-04-02 failure, as no defects were recorded, and ensure any underlying issues were resolved before purchase. While the MOT data does not flag specific mechanical risks, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough inspection of the suspension components, brake system, and exhaust for wear or corrosion. Checking for fluid leaks, tyre tread depth, and steering alignment would also be prudent, as these are common areas for deterioration in older vehicles. The lack of structural or emission-related advisories is reassuring, but physical verification remains essential.
