2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · SL22 PMX

The vehicle currently holds a technically roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on 10 April 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable as no mechanical or structural defects were recorded across the last two successful tests. The failure recorded on 9 April 2026 at the same mileage is anomalous without listed defects, likely indicating an administrative error or a minor item that was rectified immediately before the passing test rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between the April 2025 test at 7,780 miles and the April 2026 test at 10,010 miles, the car covered only 2,230 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or remained stationary periodically. Low mileage cars can sometimes suffer from specific issues such as perished rubber components or surface corrosion on brake discs due to lack of use. A buyer should conduct an in-person inspection focusing on signs of age-related wear despite the low mileage. Check the brake system for surface rust or uneven wear, as infrequent use often prevents the rotors from cleaning themselves. Given the low mileage, inspecting the suspension bushes and tyres is crucial to check for cracking or dry rot which occurs over time rather than distance. Ensure the service history reflects these annual intervals, as the MOT record only confirms basic safety standards rather not comprehensive mechanical maintenance.
