2015 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · SY64 CWT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following a clean pass on 16 September 2025 at 39,268 miles. This record suggests a stable mechanical condition, as the car has cleared its last four annual inspections without a single recorded advisory or failure. The immediate re-test on the same day in 2025, which saw a fail followed by an instant pass, indicates a minor administrative or rectification issue that was resolved within the same session, rather than an underlying mechanical defect. At approximately 3,570 miles per year, the total mileage of 39,268 is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old Mini Cooper S. The consistent, incremental mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2025 suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left dormant for extended periods. This pattern of light, steady usage typically reduces the risk of long-term storage issues such as seized calipers or fuel system degradation, though it does not eliminate the need for scrutiny regarding rubber components that may have aged due to time rather than distance. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of suspension bushes and engine mounts, as these components often deteriorate with age regardless of low mileage. While the MOT history is clean, the lack of recorded advisories means the tester may not have flagged items nearing the end of their service life, such as brake pad thickness or tyre sidewall cracking. Check the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and exhaust system, and ensure the engine bay shows no signs of oil leaks or cooling system seepage, which are common points of failure for this specific powertrain as it enters its second decade of service.
