2016 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · UXI 212

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 26,001 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2023, indicating a car that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,600 miles per year. Between February 2023 and January 2026, the odometer moved from 24,264 to 26,001 miles, confirming the car has covered fewer than 2,000 miles annually in recent years. A recording of 0 miles in March 2022 suggests a clerical error during the test rather than a mechanical anomaly. Low usage often introduces specific risks that a clean MOT record cannot detect. Long periods of standing can lead to perished tyre sidewalls, seized brake calipers, or degraded battery health. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for flat spots or cracking and check for any signs of brake disc corrosion, as these are common side effects of light use. The absence of any flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion across multiple years is a positive indicator. However, because the vehicle has not required any corrective work in the recorded history, a manual check of the fluid levels and a review of the service book are necessary to ensure oil changes occurred regardless of the low mileage.
