2018 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · KA08 AHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in September 2025 with no recorded defects. While the overall status is positive, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in attention to consumables, specifically regarding tyres, which led to an immediate failure and rectification. The failure just one day prior to the pass indicates that while safety issues were identified, they were addressed reactively rather than through preventative maintenance. The" pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,160 miles per year. There is a visible gap of over 5,000 miles between September 2024 and September 2025, following a much more rapid accumulation of nearly 9,000 miles in the preceding year. While the low mileage suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, the infrequent use can sometimes lead to rubber artwork degradation or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the history shows recurring issues with uneven tyre wear. In 2022 and 2025, tyres were flagged for being worn on the edges or inner edges, which typically points to alignment issues, worn control arms, or faulty camber settings. It is essential to verify that the front alignment has been professionally corrected to prevent rapid replacement of expensive high-performance tyres.
