2021 MINI Cooper S Electric Level 3 Electric · YL71 JBO

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, following a clean MOT pass on 02 May 2026 at 41,189 miles. This recent result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year's performance. The absence of any recorded defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the mechanical issues previously identified have been addressed and the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between the April 2025 failure and the May 2026 test, the car covered 8,410 miles, showing steady and regular usage. This moderate rate of accumulation is generally beneficial for electric vehicles as it prevents the degradation of components associated with long periods of standing, though it does place standard wear on consumables like tyres and wipers as seen in the 2025 failure. The failure on 26 April 2025 at 32,775 miles highlights a lapse in basic consumable maintenance, as the tester flagged both front tyres below the legal 1.6mm limit and insufficient washer fluid delivery. Because this is an electric model, the increased weight of the battery pack can accelerate wear on suspension bushes and tyre edges. A buyer should personally inspect the current tyres for uneven wear and verify that the washer pump and nozzles are free of leaks or blockages to ensure the previous faults were fully rectified.
