2021 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · HV71 XCM

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 11 May 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline regarding consumable upkeep. While the car passed the test, the recurring advisory for a nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge in both September 2025 and May 2026 indicates a persistent failure to address alignment or replacement issues over an eight-month period. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. The progression from 21,723 miles in September 2024 to 29,396 miles in September 2025, and finally 32,844 miles in May 2026, shows steady annual accumulation. This low mileage suggests the drivetrain and engine components have not faced excessive stress, though long intervals between can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and geometry. The repeated edge wear on the nearside front tyre across two tests strongly suggests a worn suspension bush, failing ball joint, or incorrect camber alignment that has gone unaddressed. This will continue to cause premature tyre failure if not rectified. The buyer should also check the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear, as the record provides no data on the state of the braking system despite the low mileage.
