2014 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · FH64 LMM

The most recent MOT from September 2025 resulted in a pass, but it highlighted advisories for the nearside rear and offside front tyres, which are cracking or perishing. This indicates that the tyre rubber is degrading and will need replacing soon. The overall history is relatively clean, though there is a pattern of a failed test in October 2023. This failure was caused by an exhaust lambda reading outside specified limits, which points to a previous issue with the emissions system. This was resolved on the same day to achieve a pass. The vehicle's condition trend appears stable, although the shift from clean passes to tyre perishing suggests the onset of age-related wear. The recorded mileage of 72,807 miles is typical for a twelve-year-old car. While the average annual mileage is standard, the perishing tyres can sometimes suggest the vehicle has experienced periods of standing. When inspecting the car in person, you should first examine the condition and age of all tyres to determine if a full set is required. You should also verify that the exhaust system is in good order and that there are no engine management lights present, given the previous emissions failure.
