2019 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · RA68 LSD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in December 2025 at 42,797 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in recent years, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard without allowing mechanical or structural issues to accumulate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 23,520 miles and December 2025 at 42,797 miles, the car covered 19,277 miles, reflecting a steady usage rate. The brief lapse in January 2024, where the vehicle failed and then immediately passed on the same day at 30,893 miles, suggests a minor fixable issue such as a consumable item that was rectified instantly, rather than a sign of deeper mechanical neglect. While the digital record is remarkably clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear on low-mileage vehicles. Given the low annual mileage, check the rubber components and suspension bushes for signs of dry rot or cracking which can occur when a car sits for longer periods. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as infrequently-used brakes can lead to corrosion on the friction surfaces. The lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests suggests the structural integrity remains sound, but verifying the underbody for early surface corrosion remains a standard professional practice.
