2018 MINI ONE 1.5L Petrol · F5 NLN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 56,877 miles passed, it carried an advisory for a cracked or perished offside rear tyre. This issue is recurring, having appeared in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting the owner only addresses these components once they reach a failure point or visible defect. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 7,324 miles between the March 2023 and March 2024 tests, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 9,474 miles between the March 2024 and May 2025 tests. While the low annual mileage is typical for urban use, the frequency of tyre-related faults suggests the car likely undergoes short journeys where rubber components can perish from age and neglect. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system and suspension geometry. The May 2025 test at 48,586 miles flagged all four brake discs for pitting, scoring, or excessive wear, with the offside front showing a heavy lip. Although these may have been replaced since then, the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear on edges in 2024 and 2025 indicate a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection of the front suspension and steering joints is required to ensure the vehicle is not prematurely consuming new tyres due to mechanical misalignment.
