MINI COOPER S2020 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern regarding tyre management. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 46,995 miles passed, the vehicle returned with multiple advisories for three tyres worn close to the legal limit with notable edge wear. This represents a significant regression from November 2024, where the car failed initially due to both front tyres having depths below the 1.6mm threshold. The mileage profile is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. There is a gap of over 12,000 miles between the October 2023 test at 21,976 miles and the November 2024 test at 34,735 miles. Since then, the car has covered another 12,260 miles in just under a year. This steady rate of use suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for the mechanical components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring edge wear noted on the offside and nearside tyres in 2025 indicates potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The reported damage to the nearside rear tyre in the latest report should be checked for structural integrity of the sidewall. Given that no structural defects or brake issues have been flagged in this history, the focus should remain on these own and the underlying cause of the uneven tyre degradation.
