2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · SW67 KZL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 July 2025 at 33,685 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a trend of clean passes over the previous four annual tests, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have consistently met regulatory requirements without any flagged failures or recurring areas of concern. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,743 miles per year. Between November 2021 and July 2025, the car covered 12,638 miles, suggesting short-distance commuting or extended periods of inactivity. The interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows 3,015 miles driven, confirming minimal use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can occasionally lead to component degradation due to lack of thermal cycle use. Because the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on areas typically affected by low-mileage standing. An inspector is advised to check for corrosion on brake discs and calipers, which can occur from infrequent use, and to examine rubber-based suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot due to age rather than tread depth. The absence of historical Advisories regarding structural rust or leaks suggests the vehicle has been well-preserved, but verifying the fluid condition and battery health remains essential given the low annual mileage.
