2019 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · S24 FAY

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 15 December 2025 at 14,590 miles passed, though it introduced a minor advisory regarding a front tyre showing signs of perishing or cracking. This is the only defect noted since 2022, indicating that the vehicle has avoided significant mechanical failures or structural issues during its annual inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,084 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 10,073 miles and December 2024 at 13,313 miles, the car covered roughly 1,620 miles annually. This consistent low-usage pattern suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, long periods of inactivity or low mileage can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components which are not always reflected in tyre tread depth alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition, as the December 2025 advisory indicates the rubber is perishing due to age rather than use wear. Given the low mileage, the tester should check for brake disc surface corrosion or seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. It is also prudent to inspect the suspension bushes for cracking, as these materials can become brittle over seven years regardless of the distance driven.
