2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · FN64 MWW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual inspections. The most recent test in December 2023 at 95,606 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for incompatible headlamp bulbs. This failure was rectified immediately, as the tester recorded no further defects or advisories on that same day. This suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances during the most recent inspection cycle. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between November 2022 at 63,397 miles and December 2023 at 95,606 miles, indicating that the car covered over 32,000 miles in just thirteen months. This period of high usage typically places accelerated stress on wear items such as suspension bushings and braking components, yet the record shows no recorded mechanical failures resulting from this period of heavy use. A buyer should focus on the physical condition of the tyres, given that the February 2021 test at 55,458 miles flagged perishing on both rear tyres. While the vehicle has passed tests since then, the age of the rubber can lead to cracking regardless of tread depth. Because the car is now approaching the 100,000-mile mark, a thorough inspection of the control arms, shock absorbers, and brake lines is advisable, as the MOT record does not capture the gradual degradation of these rubber components until they reach a point of failure.
