2021 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · WN71 TMZ

The most recent DVSA MOT test, conducted on 8 September 2025 at 13,555 miles, recorded a pass with no advisories or defects noted. This follows a pass on 20 September 2024 and an immediately prior failure on 19 September 2024. Notably, the failure record lists no specific defects, which is unusual and may indicate a tester-recorded category or a retest following a very recent rectification. With no advisories logged across the available tests, there are no flagged trends in wear items, braking components, or structural condition. The overall roadworthiness status based on this record is currently clean, though the dataset is limited to a single year and offers no longitudinal view of the vehicle's mechanical history. With a recorded mileage of 13,555 miles on a 2021 model, the vehicle is averaging roughly 2,700 miles per year over its five-year life, which is well below the typical usage rate for a car of this age. Only the 2024 and 2025 tests are recorded, with no earlier entries in this dataset, so mileage progression between tests can only be partially assessed. The 2024 and 2025 tests were carried out a year apart, though the precise mileage recorded at the 2024 test is not provided here for direct comparison. Such low annual mileage can mean reduced wear on drivetrain and brake components, but it also warrants closer inspection for issues associated with limited use, including dried brake fluid, perished rubber components, and stale tyres. Because the MOT history itself contains no recorded advisories, specific components cannot be flagged as requiring urgent attention based on the data alone. A prospective buyer should nonetheless carry out an independent physical inspection focusing on areas low mileage can mask. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for surface corrosion from infrequent use, while tyres should be inspected for age-related cracking regardless of remaining tread, given the vehicle's low mileage over five years. The condition of the 12-volt battery, coolant, and brake fluid should also be verified, as these degrade with time rather than mileage. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains advisable to confirm the roadworthiness implied by this otherwise unblemished MOT record.
