2015 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · YW15 AAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 June 2026 at 91,913 miles with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend is stable, though the history reveals a recurring pattern of negligence regarding tyre health and wheel integrity. While the car has passed its last three tests, the frequency of failures related to tyre structure suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to basic upkeep. The mileage is typical for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,356 miles per year. Accumulation has been steady, rising from 26,222 miles in June 2018 to the current 91,913 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing cycle or sudden spikes in usage that would indicate unusual wear or long periods of standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and wheel alignment. The record shows a persistent issue with distorted road wheels, flagged in June 2018 and again in July 2024. This, combined with repeated failures for tyre bulges and sidewall cuts between 2019 and 2025, suggests the car may have suffered impacts from kerbs or potholes. These recurring faults often point to underlying issues with tracking or worn suspension bushes that can accelerate tyre wear. The braking system appears well managed, with the only significant flags being thin pads in July 2020 at 42,480 miles, which were resolved for the pass. No structural corrosion or major mechanical failures have been noted in the records. A physical inspection should focus on the current condition of the alloy wheels and the inner edges of the front tyres to ensure the previously noted distortion and uneven wear have been permanently corrected.
