2017 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Diesel · EM07 SAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs of wear components. The most recent test in January 2026 at 51,518 miles identified nearside and offside rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life, marking a departure from the clean records seen in late 2023. The mileage profile is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression, moving from 35,239 miles in January 2023 to 48,334 miles in January 2025, and finally 51,518 miles in early 2026. This low usage often explains the lack of major mechanical failures, but it also correlates with the 2025 failure where a tyre showed signs of perishing and cracking due to age rather than high mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system in person to determine if the pitted rear discs require immediate replacement and if the calipers are seizing accordingly. The 2025 failure regarding an ineffective windscreen wiper and perished tyres suggests that basic consumable maintenance is only addressed when prompted by inspection. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of rubber suspension bushes and tyres for dry cracking, as these components degrade over time even when the car is rarely driven.
