2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · MP51 CAN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on July 15, 2025, at 31,350 miles showed no defects, indicating that the car is currently in good mechanical condition. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has effectively addressed any issues following the single failure recorded in mid-2023. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. Between June 2022 at 14,698 miles and the July 2025 test at 31,350 miles, the car covered 16,652 miles over three years. This low usage typically implies less wear on drivetrain components and suspension, though the gap between the July 2023 tests at 17,817 miles suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to specific types of component failure. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of rubber components and fluids. Low-mileage cars often suffer from perished suspension bushes, cracked tyres, and degraded seals due to age alone. The buyer should specifically check for signs of corrosion on brake discs and calipers, as infrequent use can cause surface rust or pitting. Since the record shows no structural rust or recurring mechanical faults, the integrity of the chassis appears sound, but the service history must be verified to ensure oil changes were performed annually despite the low mileage intervals.
