2020 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · N12 KAF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a consistent pattern of reactive tyre management. The most recent test in November 2025 at 33,849 miles resulted in a pass with an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a failure in November 2023 where the vehicle failed the test due to multiple tyre-related defects, including deep cuts reaching the cords. At six years old with 33,849 miles recorded, the car has averaged approximately 5,600 miles per year. This low-usage profile typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the data shows consistent intervals of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests, indicating regular annual use. The low mileage means the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to flat-spotting or seized brake components despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should perform a thorough inspection of the wheel geometry, as the recurring advisories for edge-worn tyres in the 2023 and 2025 tests suggest potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The cracking noted on the offside rear tyre in 2024 indicates the rubber may be aging faster than the mileage suggests, so check all tyres to ensure they are not perished. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from insufficient braking friction to keep the metal surfaces clean.
