2021 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · PY71 AHU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 December 2025 at 29,473 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories, indicating that previously identified issues have been rectified. This clean result suggests the owner has been proactive in addressing minor mechanical faults before they escalated into significant test failures. At approximately five years old, the car averages roughly 5,900 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a petrol vehicle of this age. Between the November 2024 test at 21,080 miles and the December 2025 test, the vehicle covered 8,393 miles. This reflects a relatively consistent usage pattern that limits wear on heavy components like the suspension bushings and brake assemblies, though low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer from flat-spotting if the car sits for extended periods. A buyer should physically verify the windscreen and wiper assembly, as the November 2024 test flagged a defective nearside wiper blade and excessive window tinting. While these are minor consumable and aesthetic issues, they highlight a lack of attention to detail in previous years. Given the low mileage, the inspection should focus on the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the age of the rubber components, as the record shows no history of structural or deep mechanical delections to date.
