2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · FH64 VSO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test in August 2025 at 71,750 miles passed despite significant advisories for both front inner tyres being near the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates a potential alignment issue or uneven wear that has remained unaddressed, suggesting that the owner only replaces components once they reach the point of failure or inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its eleven-year life. There was a notable gap of 17,080 miles between August 2023 and August 2025, which represents a period of higher usage compared to the 5,000-mile interval seen in the previous year. The failure in July 2024 due to an ineffective nearside windscreen wiper was a minor consumable issue that was rectified immediately, but it does not indicate a deeper mechanical failure. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment to explain the edge tyre wear noted in the 2025 record. The 2023 advisory regarding deep cracks in the rear tyres highlights that rubber components are aging out faster than they are wearing, which is common for low-mileage cars. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake defects in the history, the focus should remain on verifying the condition of the bushes and ensuring the current front tyres are not suffering from rapid degradation.
