2017 MINI ONE 1.2L Petrol · BJ67 SZP

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is assessed as unroadworthy due to recurring structural and mechanical issues identified in the MOT history, specifically concerning suspension components and brake systems. The most recent test on 2026-02-10 at 30,491 miles was passed, but this is not the final assessment; the vehicle has already failed multiple tests in the past, indicating a persistent failure mode rather than a temporary anomaly. The maintenance trend is worsening across the vehicle's history, evidenced by the sequence of failures starting from 2023-11-13. This is a critical juncture where the vehicle has already failed twice on tyre tread, suggesting that basic upkeep was either skipped or performed inconsistently over the last few years. The rapid mileage accumulation of approximately 3,388 miles per year, combined with the fact that the car is only about 9 years old, suggests that the vehicle has been driven at a speed or in an environment that causes accelerated wear on suspension bushings and brake discs. To restore roadworthiness, the buyer must conduct an in-person inspection of the suspension, specifically checking for binding rear brakes and the condition of the front suspension components. Additionally, the buyer must verify the integrity of the brake discs and calipers to ensure they are not corroded or worn to the point of failure. The presence of binding calipers and the history of tyre wear close to legal limits on the offside front tyres indicate that the vehicle is in a state of imminent danger and requires immediate professional intervention to prevent further catastrophic failure.
