2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · ST22 AAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 12 May 2025. While the record shows a failure on that same date at 33,289 miles, the immediate pass-up without any recorded advisories suggests a minor administrative issue or a simple consumable failure that was rectified before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural degradation. At 33,289 miles over four years, the car has averaged approximately 8,322 miles per year. This usage pattern aligns with typical UK consumer habits and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive strain on drivetrain or suspension components. The gap between the last test and the current date indicates the vehicle is maintained within the standard annual testing cycle, reflecting a consistent approach to basic legal compliance. An in-person inspection should focus on verifying the cause of the initial failure in May 2025, as the record does not specify the defect. A buyer should check for signs of oil leaks or wear on the suspension bushes, which are common on MINIs of this age. Given the relatively low mileage, the condition of the brake discs and pads should be good, but a physical check should rule for any binding calipers or uneven wear that might not have triggered an MOT advisory.
