2020 MINI Cooper S 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · GJ20 GSY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 57,559 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a failure in early 2025. While the 2025 test highlighted specific issues, the clean sheet from the latest inspection indicates that these faults were addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting all safety parameters. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered 7,409 miles, followed by a slight increase in usage to 8,176 miles in the following year, and a more significant jump of 11,072 miles in the most recent interval. This suggests a regular usage pattern which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components, preventing the degradation often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and wheel geometry. The January 2025 failure at 46,486 miles flagged uneven tyre wear across three wheels and a structural bulge on the nearside rear tyre. This specific pattern of wearing on the outer edges often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection should verify that the current tyres are not exhibiting similar premature wear and that the steering remains straight and free of pull or vibration. The braking system also requires scrutiny. The record notes a thin nearside rear brake pad during the 2025 failure, and while the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the buyer should check the remaining pad life and discs to ensure there are no signs of binding or uneven thinning. Since there are no reports of structural corrosion or exhaust leaks in the history, the primary focus remains on these consumable items and the integrity of the lower suspension components.
