2017 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Diesel · FP67 FXY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 November 2025 at 71,172 miles. While the vehicle remains compliant, the maintenance trend shows a shift from the clean records seen between 2020 and 2022 toward more frequent advisories regarding consumable wear. The most recent test flagged an offside front tyre for cracking or perishing, suggesting the rubber is beginning to age or has suffered environmental damage. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical UK usage pattern, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 31,165 miles in November 2020 to the current 71,172 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which generally supports the health of seals and fluids. The vehicle has covered roughly 10,000 miles between each annual test since 2022, indicating a predictable and regular driving schedule. A prospective buyer should focus on the tyre and suspension health due to recurring issues. The tester noted tyres worn close to the legal limit or scrubbing on the edges in both the October 2024 and November 2023 tests. This pattern of uneven tyre wear often points to underlying suspension geometry issues, such as worn bushes or misaligned steering components. The November 2023 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads also indicates that the braking system is entering a phase of required component replacement. Physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the tyres and a check for consistent tread wear across all four corners. Given the history of tyre edge wear, a thorough examination of the front suspension assembly and steering rack is advisable to rule out mechanical play. Checking the remaining thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the discs will also be necessary to ensure no immediate maintenance costs are hidden by the recent passing status.
