2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · YW71 CBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 15 January 2026. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive attention to faults, as the initial failure on that same day—caused by a loose nearside rear undertray—was clearly addressed immediately. The absence of defects in the most recent inspection indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components met the minimum safety standards at the time of the test. At 28,787 miles, the car has averaged approximately 7,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a four-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2025 test at 23,645 miles and the January 2026 test, the vehicle covered 5,142 miles, suggesting steady and predictable use. This consistent mileage accumulation generally indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive stress or the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the nearside rear wheel which was noted as distorted during the January 2025 test. While the vehicle passed since, a deformed rim can indicate a previous impact that may cause vibrations at higher speeds or uneven wear on the tyre. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on both edges suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to ensure the tracking geometry has been properly rectified to prevent premature tyre failure.
