2017 MINI ONE 1.2L Petrol · DU67 EVY

This 2017 Mini One has covered approximately 40,892 miles, averaging roughly 4,500 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen light usage, but it also raises the possibility of long periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like seized components or tyre degradation. The MOT history shows an improving trend. After a failed inspection in 2022 involving multiple tyre and safety-related defects, the vehicle has passed its last two annual tests without any recorded advisories or failures. The previous issues were largely related to tyre wear, cracking, and minor interior damage, which appear to have been addressed by the current owner. The primary risk pattern with this vehicle is the recurring history of tyre wear and perishing. Given the low mileage, it is possible the tyres have been left to sit for extended periods, causing the rubber to degrade despite having plenty of tread depth remaining. While the recent clean MOTs are encouraging, the history of uneven tyre wear suggests that the suspension geometry or tracking may have been neglected in the past. When inspecting the vehicle in person, you should first prioritise a thorough check of the tyres, looking specifically for any signs of cracking or sidewall perishing, even if the tread appears sufficient. Check the seat belt webbing for any fraying or damage that might have been overlooked, as this was a specific failure point in 2022.
