2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · YW15 ABN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in attention to consumable-related safety items. While the car maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2025, the April 2026 test at 105,708 miles flagged multiple advisories across all four tyres. This indicates a shift from proactive upkeep to a state where basic wear components are now being neglected. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. The data shows a steady accumulation of use, with a 2,904-mile gap between June 2022 and June 2023 followed by a more significant jump of 10,311 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which benefits the health of rubber components, despite the recent signs of perishing seen in the latest report. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and steering, as the uneven wear on the front tyres noted in the 2026 test suggests alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The reported cracking and perishing on the rear tyres indicate that the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life, necessitating immediate replacement regardless of tread depth. Given the lack of structural defects in previous years, the focus should remain on checking for corrosion on the underbody and ensuring the brake system is not binding as the vehicle enters higher mileage figures.
