2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · TF02 ALW

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test in February 2026 at 76,833 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This lack of recurring failures suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they reached a point of failure during the DVSA inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between February 2024 and February 2025, where the car covered 21,824 miles in a single year, compared to the much lower usage of just 2,655 miles between 2022 and 2023. Despite this recent spike in driving intensity, the vehicle passed its subsequent 76,833-mile test without issue, suggesting the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to excessive stress or long-term neglect. While the MOT history is exemplary, an in-person inspection should focus on common wear points for a MINI Cooper at this mileage bracket. The buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these often degrade before a visible MOT fail. Given the recent high-mileage year, checking the brake discs for uneven wear or of binding calipers is also advisable to ensure the increased usage has not accelerated the wear of consumable braking components.
