2019 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · HK69 FFB

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-06-03 at 37,618 miles, but the test record reveals a clear deterioration in tyre condition. The nearside front and offside front tyres were worn smooth on their outer edges, while the offside rear tyre exhibited cracking. This follows a pattern of recurring tyre defects, specifically persistent edge wear on the nearside front and repeated advisories for cracking or damage on the nearside rear tyre since 2023. The maintenance trend is therefore worsening, with tyre issues escalating from a single advisory to multiple significant faults within three years. Mileage accumulation is notably low at approximately 5,374 miles per year for a seven-year-old vehicle. The recorded history shows consistent annual testing from 2022 through 2024, with a gap of 19 months until the June 2026 test. During this period, the mileage increased by 9,415 miles, suggesting a recent shift to more frequent use after a period of lighter operation or storage. The sparse data points do not indicate rapid wear from high mileage, but the combination of low annual use and age-related tyre degradation is evident. A buyer must inspect the suspension and steering geometry in person, as the consistent outer-edge tyre wear points to a probable wheel alignment issue, possibly from worn suspension bushes or incorrect settings. All four tyres require immediate scrutiny for their age and structural integrity; the repeated cracking advisories, particularly on a low-mileage car, suggest the tyres may be original and perished from age rather than wear. The rear tyres should be checked for any previous damage repairs and the overall tread depth measured independently, as the MOT noted wear close to the legal limit.
