2020 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · RO70 VVZ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by three consecutive annual MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 18,944 miles resulted in a pass, although the tester noted a rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belts. This indicates the vehicle has consistently met minimum safety standards over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,157 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 14,499 miles and the October 2024 test at 17,056 miles, the car covered 2,557 miles. The subsequent 1,888 miles were covered prior to September 2025. This consistent, low-intensity usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to secondary issues if the car sits stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components associated with low-mileage storage. Specifically check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting caused by infrequent use, and inspect rubber suspension bushes for signs of cracking or degradation. Since the 2025 test lacked a full view of the adult seat belts due to the child seat, verify that the nearside and offside belts are free of fraying and function correctly. Also examine the tyres for flat spotting, which frequently occur on vehicles that are not driven regularly.
