2022 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · SH03 MAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 6 March 2026 at 54,821 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous year, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. Mileage accumulation is high for a four year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,705 miles per year. The records show a significant increase in usage between the March 2025 test at 41,915 miles and the March 2026 test at 54,821 miles, representing a gain of 12,906 miles in twelve months. This level of road use accelerates the wear of high friction components and drivetrain elements compared to a typical low mileage example. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage suggests a buyer should focus on consumables during a physical inspection. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake discs and pads, as these likely require more frequent replacement given the annual mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or cracking. The absence of advisories over the last two years suggests a consistent approach to basic upkeep. However, since MOTs are snapshot assessments, a manual check of the service history is necessary to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements have kept pace with the high mileage. Focus on any signs of oil leaks or fluid degradation that a standard MOT test might not flag.
