2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · YB66 UPR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 February 2026 at 106,545 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the initial test but passed the retest within days. This suggests the issues encountered were likely minor compliance items or consumable wear that were addressed immediately upon discovery rather than deep-seated mechanical or structural neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. The car covered 13,810 miles between February 2024 and January 2025, and a further 25,947 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. This significant spike in usage during the final year indicates a period of high-intensity driving, which accelerates the wear on suspension bushes, brake components, and drivetrain parts. Despite this increased load, the MOT history remains clean of advisories across all recorded tests. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the high-mileage year puts significant stress on control arms and shock absorbers. While the record shows no recurring structural corrosion, the repeated failures suggest the owner may only address specific items like bulbs, wipers, or tyres when they fail. Check for signs of oil leaks around the engine and inspect the condition of the brake discs to ensure the recent surge in mileage has not caused excessive thinning or uneven wear.
