2016 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Diesel · KM66 TYA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 30 September 2025 at 39,520 miles. While the test passed without major failures, the tester noted an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates that while the vehicle remains mechanically sound enough to pass, basic consumable maintenance is now reaching a point requiring immediate attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between the 2024 test at 21,292 miles and the September 2025 test, where over 18,000 miles were covered in eleven months. While low overall mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such sudden bursts of use can sometimes mask underlying degradation of rubber components and seals if the car sat stationary for long periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry to address the uneven tyre wear noted on the offside front, as this often points to tracking out of alignment or worn wish arm bushes. Given the low annual mileage, it is also essential to check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and verify that the brake fluid has not absorbed moisture. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains in good condition, but a physical inspection of the underbody for rust remains necessary.
