2022 Mini Cooper S Electric Level 2

CarHunch analysed 4,181 real MOT records for the 2022 Mini Cooper S Electric Level 2. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2022 MINI Cooper S Electric posts a 90.7% first-time pass rate, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at 3.7%—well within acceptable territory for a buyer. The electric powertrain appears fundamentally sound, with virtually no fuel-type variation to consider.

At just 16,801 miles median and 18,356 miles average, these cars are still young and lightly used, which explains the low failure count of 0.09 per vehicle. The 0.6 advisories per car suggest minor wear items are beginning to show, but nothing systemic—if you're shopping for one, get a pre-purchase inspection to confirm battery health and any electrical niggles, since the MOT doesn't assess EV-specific components like the battery management system.

What to check before buying a 2022 Mini Cooper S Electric Level 2

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
