Our Verdict
This 2022 MINI Cooper is a solid used buy with a largely clean MOT record, but the 2025 failure shows it needed prompt attention to tyres, screen damage and headlamp aim. Provided those items were properly rectified, it should make a reliable everyday petrol hatchback.
When viewing RJ22ADV, ask to see the April 2025 MOT re-test paperwork or garage invoice confirming the near-side front tyre, windscreen and headlamp aim were corrected, as the failure and pass happened on the same date in 2025. Check the service history is up to date for a 2022 petrol MINI, with the first scheduled services completed given the car is now over four years old. Since no aggregate reliability data is available for the MINI Cooper, lean on the individual history here and a professional inspection rather than model averages.
As a 1499cc petrol Euro 6 AP MINI Cooper, this car should return reasonable fuel economy for urban and mixed driving, though exact figures are not in the supplied data. Road tax for a 2022 Euro 6 petrol of this size is typically modest, and insurance will reflect the Cooper's small hatchback positioning rather than hot-hatch premiums. We estimate typical annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance at around £1,000-£1,300, subject to mileage and location.
The 2025 MOT failure noted a near-side front tyre worn on the extreme outer edge at 17,133 miles, so inspect that corner for uneven wear or suspension alignment issues that could recur. The same test recorded near-side windscreen damage not affecting the driver's view and an off-side headlamp aimed too high; confirm the glass is intact and the headlamp beam pattern is correct. At the 2026 test the car passed with no defects at 18,501 miles, but a general check of brakes, fluid levels and the 1.5-litre engine condition is wise on any used purchase.
The vehicle is a May 2022 registered grey MINI Cooper with a 1.5-litre Euro 6 petrol engine, showing 18,501 miles at its latest April 2026 MOT pass. Its history includes one MOT failure in April 2025 at 17,133 miles for a worn near-side front tyre, near-side windscreen damage and high off-side headlamp aim, all of which were addressed for the pass on the same day. With below-average mileage for a four-year-old car and no defects at the most recent test, the overall condition appears good.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the MINI Cooper, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of RJ22ADV.
