2020 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · HX70 WDJ

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate until September 2026, yet the maintenance record displays a worsening trend regarding consumable upkeep. The September 2025 test initially resulted in a failure at 37,002 miles due to a dangerous tyre cut and excessively worn front brake pads. Although the car passed later that same day, the transition from clean records in 2023 to mechanical failures in 2025 indicates the previous owner delayed essential servicing until components became legally unsafe. Mileage accumulation remains consistent and low for a six-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 18,161 miles in September 2023, rising to 27,549 miles by September 2024, and reaching 37,002 miles in September 2025. This yearly average of approximately 9,400 miles suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which is beneficial for mechanical longevity, though the consistent driving likely contributed to the accelerated wear on the braking system. Prospective buyers must scrutinise the condition of all tyres and the front braking assembly. The recurring advisories for sidewall cuts in 2024, followed by a failure for a deep cut reaching the ply cords in 2025, imply the car may have suffered impact damage or poor wheel alignment. Given the front discs were already noted as worn in 2024, they likely require immediate attention to ensure optimal stopping performance despite the pad replacement.
