2017 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · FH67 OFC

This MINI Cooper S presents a roadworthiness profile that is currently stable but showing early signs of consumable neglect. The August 2025 test at 86,907 miles passed, yet the tester recorded both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit. This is a minor but clear indicator that the owner deferred basic replacement work until after the test. The broader trend is positive: the previous two annual tests recorded zero defects, and the sole failure in August 2022 for a headlamp aim fault was a simple adjustment issue corrected immediately on the same day. The odometer history supports a pattern of consistent, moderate use. The car has covered roughly 9,656 miles per year, which is typical for a petrol-powered hot hatch of this age. Mileage accumulation between tests is even and unremarkable: roughly 4,271 miles between 2022 and 2023, then 3,860 miles to 2024, and 3,957 miles to 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps that would indicate clocking or prolonged periods of disuse. For a prospective buyer, the key areas to inspect in person are the front tyres, which will likely require replacement immediately or very soon. Given the four-year record of clean tests, there is no evidence of recurring corrosion, suspension wear, brake binding, or fluid leaks. The only minor advisory from 2023 about items removed from the driver's view is trivial and likely relates to an air freshener or phone mount. No structural or mechanical red flags exist. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on general condition and service history rather than any specific MOT-related weakness.
