2017 MINI COOPER1.5L Diesel

The vehicle appears to be in a stable state of roadworthiness, evidenced by the clean pass recorded on 4 December 2025 at 71,890 miles. This most recent test showed no defects, suggesting that previous issues have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a history of minor consumable issues that have since been resolved, moving from a failure in October 2020 to a series of minor tyre advisories before reaching the current defect-free status. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 7,988 miles per year, which represents moderate, regular use rather than excessive high-speed motorway running or long periods of inactivity. The data shows steady progression, with the mileage increasing by roughly 8,000 to 11,000 miles between annual tests, such as the jump from 52,576 miles in December 2023 to 63,479 miles in December 2024. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre sidewall damage. Between 2020 and 2024, the tester consistently flagged cuts or perishing on various tyres, including the offside front in 2022, the nearside front in 2023, and the offside rear in 2024. While these were categorized as minor sidewall cuts that did not reach the cords, the frequency suggests a tendency for the previous owner to drive on debris or perhaps neglect tyre condition until the MOT threshold. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the current tyre tread and sidewall integrity to ensure no new damage has occurred since the December 2025 test. Although the record is clean of mechanical or structural failures, the history of tyre issues warrants a close look at the wheel arches and suspension components to ensure no underlying alignment issues contributed to uneven wear. No concerns regarding brake performance, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion were raised in the provided data.
