2011 MINI Cooper S Convertible 1.6L Petrol · FD60 WDV

The vehicle currently stands to be roadworthy but requires immediate attention to the most recent MOT, which was recorded on 2025-06-13 at 75,819 miles. This test failed on the offside front upper anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover and the front brake pads, indicating that the mechanical integrity of the front suspension and braking system has deteriorated significantly since the last inspection. The maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of rapid mileage accumulation over roughly fifteen years, with the most recent MOT falling short of the 50,000-mile threshold. The gap between the 2025-06-13 test and the 2024-06-06 test is particularly concerning, as the vehicle has not been maintained for over a decade without addressing the critical dust cover and brake issues. In conclusion, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension components, specifically the coil springs and bushings, and confirm the state of the front brake discs and pads. Given the severe deterioration of the ball joint and the lack of recent maintenance, the vehicle may require a full suspension overhaul and brake replacement within the next few weeks to ensure continued roadworthiness.
