2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · WM17 VVD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 at 82,164 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, showing a history of addressing faults only when they trigger failures. While the most recent test only noted a damaged windscreen, the failure in late 2024 due to critically low tyre tread depth indicates that the previous owner occasionally neglected basic consumable maintenance until forced to act by an inspection result. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles between annual tests, specifically moving from 48,672 miles in 2022 to 82,164 miles in 2025. This regularity suggests consistent driving habits rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the 2023 test flagged a distorted nearside inner road wheel and subsequent tests showed uneven tyre wear. These issues indicate curb damage or poor alignment settings that accelerate wear on tyres and bushings. Additionally, the front brakes should be checked for thickness and pitting, as the 2022 record already noted them as worn, and they likely approach the end of their service life given the 33,000 miles driven since that entry.
