2017 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · WG67 UDW

The 2017 MINI John Cooper Works presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 92,276 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 5 December 2024 at 84,558 miles also showed a clean sheet. Two earlier failures on 2 December 2024 and 13 November 2023 at near-identical mileages of 84,545 and 73,751 respectively were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle has moved from those anomaly failures to two consecutive clean passes. Recorded mileage sits at 92,276 against an approximate nine-year lifespan, averaging 10,253 miles per year which is typical for the age. The jump from 73,751 miles on 14 November 2023 to 84,558 miles on 5 December 2024 equals roughly 10,800 miles in just over twelve months, a normal accumulation rate. From December 2024 to September 2025 the car covered only 7,718 miles, suggesting slightly lighter recent use. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, with every test either clean or a no-defect failure, so no wear trends on tyres, brakes, or suspension appear in the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition given the JCW model's firmer ride and higher cornering loads. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests means latent corrosion or binding calipers would not show in this history. Verify the 2 December 2024 and 13 November 2023 failures were retests or clerical entries, not concealed repair work, by checking the V5C and any dealer paperwork. Given the clean recent passes and average mileage, the mechanical risk profile is low on paper. Prior owners kept the car to a standard that avoided tyre, exhaust, or structural advisories entirely. Confirm in person that no undertray corrosion or subframe rust has developed hidden from MOT scrutiny.
