MINI MINI HATCH2017 · 1.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 38,163 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components currently meet DVSA safety standards and that the previous owner has proactively addressed any issues identified in earlier tests. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,240 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage over the last four years, with only 3,579 miles recorded between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. While low mileage generally suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the intervals also highlight the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components due to time exposure rather than physical distance. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres, given the history of structural failure issues. The October 2022 test at 31,291 miles flagged perishing on both rear tyres, and the subsequent 2023 test failed at 32,397 miles due to structural tears in both rear tyres. Although these were replaced, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, causing the rubber compound to dry out. A physical inspection for sidewall cracking or hardening is essential to ensure the current set is not reaching the end of its structural life despite low tread depth.
