2015 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Diesel · FV64 VOG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 88,190 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of deteriorating braking components over the last three years. While the car maintained a clean record in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 flagged recurring issues with pad wear and disc corrosion across multiple axles. At 88,190 miles over eleven years, the car has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-duty usage for its age. The mileage pattern appears consistent, with a 7,000-mile interval recorded between March 2024 and 2025, and another 14,000 miles covered before the 2026 test. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which helps explain the gradual wear on consumable items seen in the braking system. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system to ensure previous faults were addressed. The 2025 test specifically noted pitted and scored rear discs along with thin pads on both sides, while the 2024 test highlighted front inner disc wear. You must verify that the discs and pads have been replaced and are not currently showing signs of glazing or uneven wear. Given the history of surface corrosion on the discs, you should also check for seized or binding calipers, as these often lead to the premature pitting noted in the official records.
