2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · SB22 ADU

The 2022 MINI Cooper presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its three most recent MOT tests. The latest assessment on 2026-04-07 at 37,520 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with the prior 2026-02-17 test at 37,500 miles. No structural, braking, or emissions issues were flagged across the 18-month period, indicating consistent maintenance and minimal mechanical degradation. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no emerging risks evident in the documented history. Mileage progression shows a typical annual average of 9,380 miles, though a notable 8-month gap between the 2025-06-03 test (30,981 miles) and the 2026-02-17 test (37,500 miles) reflects a sharp 6,519-mile increase. This acceleration may indicate heightened usage or a period of intensive driving, which could stress components like tyres, suspension bushes, and brake discs. The subsequent 20-day interval to 2026-04-07 saw only 20 miles added, raising questions about potential inactivity or limited operation, which might affect fluid systems and electrical components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly around underbody panels and wheel arches, given the sporadic mileage trends. Suspension components, including coil springs and dampers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear, while the braking system should be tested for caliper binding or disc warping. Although no issues were recorded, the low recent mileage growth suggests the car may not have been driven sufficiently to expose latent faults, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
