2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · MH02 ALY

This vehicle presents a clean bill of health from its sole recorded MOT examination. The test on 7 May 2025 at 21,688 miles resulted in a pass with no advisory notices or defect warnings. The maintenance trend is essentially unknown beyond this single snapshot, but the absence of any flagged issues at that point indicates the car met the statutory minimum standards without compromise. There is no evidence of deterioration or recurring faults to assess. The mileage of 21,688 miles over approximately four years equates to roughly 5,400 miles per annum, which is low for a modern Mini Cooper. This pattern suggests light urban or occasional use rather than sustained high-speed commuting. The single test entry provides no data on mileage accumulation between services or any periods of inactivity, so the record is sparse but clean. A buyer should verify that the annual servicing schedule has been followed despite the low mileage, as time-based intervals for oil and brake fluid changes are critical even when the car is used sparingly. Given the limited MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components that degrade with age rather than mileage. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and exhaust mountings for signs of perishing. Brake discs can corrode on the inner faces if the car is left standing, so inspect for lipping or pitting. Tyres, though likely original given the low miles, should be checked for sidewall cracking and date stamps. A full service history check is essential to confirm that the engine oil and coolant have been changed at the correct time intervals, not just mileage.
