2022 MINI Clubman Cooper S Shadow ED A 2.0L Petrol · DV22 JVT

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a concerning trend regarding neglected tyre care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 41,687 miles resulted in a pass, it flagged significant issues with the nearside rear inner tyre. This component showed both edge wear and physical signs of cracking or perishing, suggesting a failure to address basic consumable wear before it reached critical levels near legal limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. Between the 2025 test at 25,105 miles and the 2026 test at 41,687 miles, the car covered 16,582 miles in a single year. This spike in usage likely explains the accelerated wear observed on the tyres, though the interval also suggests the owner may not prioritize preventative maintenance between the annual MOT inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and wheel alignment geometry. The recurring reports of edge wear on both the nearside front in 2025 and the nearside rear in 2026 strongly point to an misalignment or worn suspension bushes that have not been rectified. You should also check the sidewalls of all remaining tyres for dry rot or cracking, as the record indicates the rubber may be degrading or has been exposed to environmental damage without timely replacement.
