2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · ML71 SFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. While the car passed its test on March 4 2026 at 22,703 miles, it failed earlier that same day due to multiple safety-related defects. The trend shows a shift from a clean record in 2025 to a failure to address essential consumable items before the final retest. At 22,703 miles over four years, the MINI has a low mileage profile, averaging approximately 5,676 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 15,502 miles and the March 2026 test, the vehicle covered 7,201 miles. This low usage generally suggests less wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the failure on tyre tread and wipers in 2026 suggests that the owner may have neglected routine inspections and replacements despite the low distance driven. A buyer must physically inspect the front tyres specifically, as both the nearside and offside tyres were below the legal 1.6mm limit during the last failure. The front windscreen wiper also failed to clear effectively, indicating perished rubber or a faulty motor. While the rear registration plate was flagged for deterioration and has since passed, it should be checked for further cracking or fading to ensure it remains legible. There are no structural or brake-related issues recorded in this history, so the focus remains on whether the current owner is now proactive with basic maintenance items.
