2020 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · AF70 HZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 24,180 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn near the legal limit. This suggests that while the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards, the owner tends to address consumable items once they are flagged by a tester or approach imminent failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,030 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 11,683 miles and the November 2024 test at 18,333 miles, the car covered 6,650 miles. This low usage typically implies less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension, but it can also lead to issues such as rubber components drying out or brake discs pitting from lack of use if the car sits stationary for long periods between annual tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the front-end alignment, as the edge wear noted on the nearside front tyre in 2025 often points to incorrect tracking settings or worn suspension bushes. The record also shows thin nearside rear brake pads at 18,333 miles in 2024, which warrants a physical check of the remaining life and to ensure calipers are not seizing. Given the history of a nail in the tyre in 2023, a thorough inspection of all tyre sidewalls for previous repairs or uneven wear is also advisable before purchase.
