2021 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · SL71 THV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean inspection history. The most recent test conducted on 7 November 2025 at 31,502 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures or structural corrosion typically flagged by the tester during the last two cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate profile, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the 13 November 2024 test at 18,174 miles and the November 2025 test, the car covered 13,328 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for the condition of seals, rubber components, and brake assemblies compared to static low-mileage vehicles. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults or de-rating issues, an in-person inspection should focus on items that the MOT does not capture. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension components, specifically bushes and coil springs, as low-mileage cars still suffer from rubber degradation over five years. Checking the brake pads and discs for uneven wear is also advisable, as the MOT only checks for binding or excessive thinning rather than overall remaining life.
