2021 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · YC71 AEY

The 2021 MINI Cooper presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent DVSA test on 26 March 2026 at 16,504 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clear results across all three available entries. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a five-year-old car. The record shows 7,980 miles at the 5 April 2024 test, rising to 12,013 miles by 21 March 2025, then 16,504 miles at the March 2026 test. That equates to roughly 3,300 miles per year. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods or short urban trips rather than sustained motorway use, though the sparse three-entry history limits deeper trend analysis. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any test, so the MOT data alone flags no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive items the tests did not probe. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation from prolonged inactivity, and verify brake discs and calipers are free from binding after low-use storage. Examine underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware for early corrosion not yet severe enough to record.
