2020 MINI Cooper S Electric Level 1 Electricity · DY70 FDV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a significant lapse in basic consumable maintenance. While the car passed its test on 1 May 2026 at 47,147 miles, it had failed just days prior due to multiple critical tyre defects. The tester identified structural failures on both the nearside and offside rear tyres, alongside a deep cut reaching the cords on the nearside front. This suggests a period of neglect regarding vehicle equipment leading up to the most recent inspection. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-to-use profile, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a clear gap of over 16,000 miles between the October 2023 test at 19,404 miles and the April 2025 test at 36,115 miles. Since then, the vehicle has covered another 11,000 miles in just fourteen months. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which is generally beneficial for the health of the electric-drive components and suspension seals to prevent flat spotting or seizing. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and alignment geometry. The May 2026 failure noted the offside front tyre was worn on the edge, which often points to incorrect tracking settings or worn suspension bushes. Given the previous structural damage to the rear tyres, it is essential to verify that the current set is of adequate quality and does not show uneven wear. The 2023 failure regarding headlamp aim is a minor adjustment issue, but the recent tyre-related failures indicate that the owner may overlook basic safety-critical items until prompted by a test failure.
