2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · GD67 CZY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 56,319 miles with no recorded defects. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumables. While the car currently holds a clean certificate, the recurring issues with braking components suggest that the previous owner addressed faults only when they reached failure or advisory thresholds. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2020 and December 2020, where the car covered only 3,943 miles over eleven months. Since 2022, usage has become more consistent, with roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles added annually. This low annual mileage explains the specific degradation of rubber-based components, which often suffer from age andrelated rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear braking system, as this area shows a persistent pattern of wear. The 2020 failure for thin nearside rear brake pads, followed by advisories for pitted discs in 2024 and thin pads again in 2025, indicate that the rear calipers may be sticking or binding. Inspection should verify the current condition of the discs and ensure pads are wearing evenly. Furthermore, the repeated cracking and perishing of rear tyres in 2022 and 2024 suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods; the buyer must check the sidewalls of the current tyres for dry rot despite potentially sufficient tread depth.
