2015 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · HT15 OMX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a recent inspection on 2025-07-01, with the most recent test at 54,374 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with tyre condition. The vehicle failed its inspection on 2025-06-30 at the same mileage, specifically noting a lump caused by separation or partial failure of the offside front tyre structure, alongside cracking and perishing on the offside rear tyre. The subsequent pass on 2025-07-01 indicates that while the tyre issues were present, they were addressed or resolved to a satisfactory level for the current test. The mileage accumulation between 2023 and 2025 is consistent with the vehicle's age, with the total recorded distance reaching 54,374 miles. The data shows a steady progression of wear, with tyre defects being flagged in the 2023 test at 29,923 miles and again in the 2025 tests. This pattern suggests that basic upkeep, specifically tyre replacement and monitoring, may have been inconsistent over the last two years. The mileage is not excessive for a 2015 model, but the failure noted on 2025-06-30 highlights a period where structural tyre failure occurred at a higher mileage. A buyer should inspect the suspension components and brake system thoroughly. Given the recurring tyre issues, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable to ensure no underlying structural fatigue is present. A physical inspection of the brake discs and calipers should confirm their condition, particularly looking for signs of excessive wear or binding. While the MOT record does not flag any structural corrosion or major drivetrain issues, the history of tyre separation suggests a buyer should be vigilant regarding general wear and tear and the overall mechanical integrity of the vehicle.
