2021 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · DF71 FDK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test without failures. The latest inspection conducted on 17 October 2025 at 27,725 miles resulted in only an advisory for a slightly damaged nearside front tyre. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where mechanical and structural components are meeting passing standards, though the record shows a recurring focus on tyre-related issues. At 27,725 miles, the vehicle has covered significantly less mileage than the national average, averaging approximately 5,545 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 25,180 miles and the October 2025 test, the car covered only 2,545 miles. This low rate of use suggests short-distance urban driving, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension but can occasionally lead to brake disc spotting or component degradation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry during a physical appraisal. The October 2024 test flagged the nearside front tyre as worn close to the legal limit on the edge, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. While the 2025 advisory noted damage rather than wear patterns, the underlying cause of the uneven wear should be verified to ensure the tracking is not causing premature failure of new tyres.
