2019 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · W9 PRA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in September 2025 at 27,989 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with faults being limited strictly to minor consumable items rather than mechanical failure or structural degradation. While a failure occurred in October 2023 due to a damaged offside tyre, the issue was rectified immediately, suggesting the owner responds to MOT-related safety requirements. At seven years of age, the recorded mileage is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with the vehicle moving from 15,310 miles in October 2022 to 25,035 miles by September 2024. This low-frequency use typically means less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension mounting points. However, the low mileage profile often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus specifically on the condition of the tyres during a physical inspection. The September 2025 test flagged cracking and perishing on both the nearside and offside rear tyres, which is a common symptom of age-related dry rot in low-mileage vehicles. While tread depth may be sufficient, the structural integrity of the rubber compound is compromised. You should also inspect the wiper blades and rubber seals, as the defective blade noted in September 2024 indicates these minor consumables are reaching the end of their service life due to time rather than distance.
