2022 MINI Cooper S Electric Level 3 Electric · VT62 DEC

The vehicle presents a stable and fully compliant roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 22,142 miles passed with zero defects recorded, indicating no mechanical, structural, or emissions-related faults at that time. The preceding test on 19 April 2025 at 17,426 miles also passed cleanly with no advisories or failures. This two-for-two clean-pass record over the past year suggests consistent basic upkeep and no emerging mechanical deterioration. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story. Between April 2025 and March 2026, the car covered 4,716 miles over roughly eleven months. Annualised against the full ownership period from new to March 2026, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,536 miles per year, which sits well below the UK average annual mileage of around 7,900 miles. The gap between the two recorded tests shows steady but light use rather than sudden spikes or prolonged dormancy. There are no suspicious odometer anomalies or irregular intervals that would raise concerns about tampering or long-term standing damage. With no recurring faults flagged across either test, there is no pattern of wear items cycling through premature replacement. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas that MOTs only sample. Check the underside for surface corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, and brake lines, particularly if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. Inspect tyre condition and age, as electric vehicles with instant torque can wear rear tyres unevenly even at low mileages. Examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping, and test regenerative braking response for smooth engagement. Verify the high-voltage battery state of charge behaviour on a test drive, as early degradation in electric MINI battery packs can manifest as reduced range consistency rather than outright failure. The clean MOT record is reassuring but limited in scope. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent EV-aware technician remains the most reliable way to confirm the battery health, charging port condition, and structural integrity of the floor pan where the battery pack is housed.
