2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · WH15 HWN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on December 23, 2025 at 98,135 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of recurring electronic failures immediately prior to testing. While the car passed its most recent inspection, it failed in 2024 and 2025 due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light. This suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by a failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eleven-year-old road car, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The record shows steady annual usage, with 11,279 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 3,654 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This regular use indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent fluid degradation, but the high five-figure mileage marks a stage of increased wear for the drivetrain and rubber-related components. A buyer must scrutinise the engine management system to ensure the recurring MIL fault has been properly rectified rather than merely cleared. An intermittent sensor fault or a faulty wiring loom can lead to future performance issues or unexpected failures. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential, as these are common points of failure on this model at this interval. Check the brake discs for excessive thinning or corrosion, as the MOT record does not detail specific advisories for these components.
