2010 MINI 1.6L Diesel · CF10 CWA

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-07 showed the vehicle passed with a single defect: front tyres worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates ongoing tyre condition issues, which could signal alignment, suspension, or balancing problems. The 2024-06-07 MOT included a failed brake binding issue and a position lamp failure, but these were resolved by the next MOT. However, the 2023-06-14 MOT revealed multiple critical defects, including seriously weakened brake discs, oil leaks, and widespread lighting failures. These suggest significant underlying mechanical and electrical issues that may have been partially addressed but not fully resolved. The recurring pattern involves brake disc wear, tyre condition, and lighting system failures. Brake discs were seriously weakened in 2023, with some discs still showing wear in 2025, indicating potential long-term neglect or excessive use. Tyre wear has been a consistent issue since 2023, raising concerns about suspension or alignment. Lighting failures, particularly position and stop lamps, persisted across multiple MOTs, pointing to possible electrical system faults or deferred maintenance. The trend shows partial improvement: critical brake disc issues were not repeated in 2025, and some lighting defects were fixed.
