2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · EY15 YBC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 19 February 2026 at 32,887 miles. While the overall status is passing, the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern regarding tyre-related defects. Since February 2024, the tester has consistently flagged advisories for perishing and surface damage on multiple tyres, indicating that the rubber compound is degrading due to age rather than tread wear. The' profile is exceptionally low for an artwork-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 22,037 miles and February 2026 at 32,887 miles, the car covered only 10,850 miles over four years. This low usage suggests minimal strain on the engine and drivetrain, but it is likely the direct cause of the noted tyre degradation, as rubber components tend to dry out and crack when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the recurring reports of perishing on the offside and nearside rear$_ they require replacement irrespective of remaining depth. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the brake discs for corrosion or surface pitting, which often occurs on cars that are driven infrequently. Additionally, the suspension bushes and rubber mounts should be checked for cracking, as the age of the vehicle makes these components brittle despite the low mileage reading.
