2015 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Diesel · TO04 ARA

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 30 January 2026 at 71,786 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just six days prior at 71,694 miles. This sequence suggests the failure was likely due to a minor, easily rectified item that was immediately addressed, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2024, the vehicle has maintained a clean record across testing cycles. The mileage history indicates a consistent usage pattern, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its eleven-year lifespan. Between February 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 6,819 miles, while it added 6,299 miles in the year leading up to the January 2026 tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly without being subjected to excessive stress from high-mileage commuting, nor has it suffered from the long periods of stagnation that often lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid contamination in brake systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this age and mileage, despite the clean MOT history. Given the low annual mileage, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is vital, as these components can perish due to age regardless of distance driven. While the record shows no brake failures, a manual inspection of the discs for uneven wear or binding calipers will ensure the system remains properly maintained. The lack of structural corrosion advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains sound, but a visual check of the subframe for any surface rust remains standard professional practice for a MINI of this era.
