Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents an excellent roadworthiness status with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 18 May 2026 at 7,285 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean result from May 2025, indicating that the car has consistently met regulatory standards without mechanical failure throughout its recorded history. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,821 miles per year. Between the 2025 test at 5,602 miles and the 2026 test at 7,285 miles, the car covered only 1,683 miles. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical stress, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it also implies the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. While the digital record shows no recurring faults, a buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for issues associated with low-mileage use. Stationary brake discs and calipers can develop surface corrosion or pitting if the car is not driven frequently enough. It is also advisable to check the tyres for flat spotting or age cracking, despite deep tread depth. Given the lack of recorded advisories, the structural integrity and mechanical components appear to be in good condition, provided the service history reflects annual oil intervals regardless of the low mileage.

Our Verdict

A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a modern, low-mileage Cooper S. The vehicle shows a clean MOT history with no recorded defects to date.

Given the vehicle's age and relatively low mileage, your primary focus should be on verifying the digital service history to ensure all manufacturer-scheduled maintenance has been performed. While the MOT history is clean, the MOT is a snapshot of roadworthiness and does not confirm the presence of a full service record.

When negotiating, ask for evidence of any work carried out under warranty, as a 2022 model should still be within its manufacturer coverage period. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are the most common failure points for this model type according to aggregate data.

As a 1998cc petrol engine, the Cooper S sits in a mid-range insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but being a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it is suitable for most low-emission zones.

Typical maintenance costs for a MINI of this age include regular oil changes and brake component replacements. You should budget for standard servicing intervals to maintain the vehicle's performance and warranty status. Estimated annual running costs are moderate for a performance-oriented hatchback.

Inspect the tyres for even wear and adequate tread depth, as 'tyre' is a top failure reason for this model aggregate. Additionally, check the brake pads and discs; the aggregate data suggests 'brake pad' and 'brakes imbalanced' are common MOT failure reasons for this vehicle type.

Since the most recent MOT in May 2026 recorded no defects, the mechanical presentation at the time of testing was satisfactory. However, always perform a physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition before committing to a purchase.

This 2022 MINI Cooper S (SM22HBJ) is a relatively recent registration in Black, currently showing 7,285 miles on the clock. Based on the two recorded MOT tests in 2025 and 2026, the vehicle has passed without any recorded defects. The mileage is slightly above the model aggregate average of 6,406 miles per year, but remains low for a vehicle of this age.

The MINI Cooper S model shows an average MOT pass rate of 88.0% across 98,440 analysed vehicles.
