2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · SB67 UUW

The MOT record for this 2017 MINI Cooper presents an unbroken sequence of five consecutive passes, with the most recent test on 4 June 2025 at the current recorded mileage of 41,316 miles returning a clean sheet and no advisories. Across the full five-test history, no failures, no advisory notes, and no recorded defects appear. The trend is therefore stable on the limited evidence available, though absence of advisories across multiple tests should be read as an unusually clean administrative record rather than independent confirmation of mechanical soundness. Annual mileage is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 41,316 miles from 2017 to mid-2025, equating to roughly 4,500 miles per year, which is well below the typical 7,000 to 10,000 mile average. The test dates show annual checks between December 2021 and December 2023 at almost identical odometer readings, indicating the vehicle spent extended periods stationary rather than being driven regularly. Such low use can suppress the appearance of wear-related advisories on brake components, tyres, and underbody corrosion, while still allowing age-related deterioration of rubber seals, brake fluid, and battery condition to progress unseen. A prospective buyer should not rely on the MOT outcome alone. Physical inspection must include a thorough check of the underbody and structural areas, particularly the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, for any corrosion that may have developed during periods of low use without being recorded at test. Brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses should be examined for surface corrosion and seizing, as lightly used brakes corrode rapidly and may bind without this showing as an advisory. The cooling system, auxiliary drive belt, and battery should be tested regardless of the clean record. Tyre age, as indicated by DOT date codes, deserves attention since the car covers few miles per year and tyres may be aged rather than worn. A compression test or live diagnostic scan would also be prudent to verify the integrity of the engine and electronic control systems, which MOT testing does not assess. The record is clean but mechanically sparse. Score 72 Low risk. The vehicle has passed every test without recorded defects, and mileage accumulation is consistent with light, steady use rather than rapid accumulation. Risk reflects only the data supplied; an in-person inspection remains essential.
