2021 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · ST71 HKB

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 March 2026 at 42,653 miles passed with no recorded defects, mirroring the clean results of the previous two tests. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and does not suffer from developing mechanical failures or structural degradation that typically trigger MOT failures. The mileage pattern aligns with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,500 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 34,765 miles and the 2025 test at 36,890 miles, the car covered 2,125 miles in four months, followed by an additional 5,763 miles leading into the March 2026 test. This indicates regular, consistent use which is often beneficial for preventing seals and brake components from seizing or corroding during long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or faults, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that is not always captured during the annual test. A buyer should check the condition of the tyres for uneven wear, which might indicate alignment issues, and examine the thickness of the brake pads and discs. Given the age, verifying the suspension bushings for cracking and checking for any fluid leaks is prudent to ensure the vehicle remains as sharp as the digital record suggests.
