MINI COOPER S2017 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test in December 2025 at 57,729 miles resulted in a pass, though it highlighted both front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear. This mirrors a previous advisory from the December 2022 test at 35,231 miles, suggesting a recurring pattern of tyre neglect rather than acute mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum, which is typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The data shows steady usage with a significant gap of 10,658 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,865-mile interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This regularity suggests the car has been subjected to regular use, which generally helps prevent the degradation of seals and moisture-related corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and geometry in person, as the recurring edge wear on the front tyres indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. While no structural corrosion or brake defects have been flagged, the low mileage relative to the age warrants a check of the brake discs for pitting and calipers for seizing. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of rubber components and hoses is essential to ensure they have not perished despite the low mileage.
