2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · RO67 AEE

The vehicle exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five consecutive MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-09-15 at 26,733 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or advisories were flagged across the six-year history, suggesting the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. The absence of structural, brake, or suspension failures in all tests implies the car has not experienced significant mechanical degradation. The mileage of 26,733 miles over nine years equates to an average of 2,970 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual usage. This low mileage could indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, tyres, and brake system. Notably, the 2024-09-23 test at 23,302 miles showed a 3,431-mile gap since the 2023 test, raising questions about storage conditions. While no defects were recorded, such extended inactivity might necessitate a closer inspection of fluid levels, electrical systems, and tyre condition. A buyer should verify the integrity of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade during periods of inactivity. Corrosion risks, especially in underbody areas, warrant scrutiny given the low mileage and potential exposure to moisture. The brake system, though unremarked in tests, should be assessed for caliper binding or disc warping, common in vehicles with limited use. Electrical systems, including the battery and alternator, also require attention to confirm they function reliably after extended storage.
