2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · LC15 OGJ

The current roadworthiness status for the 2015 MINI COOPER is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test conducted in August 2025 at 122,360 miles, where the tester flagged binding rear brakes and significant wear on the nearside and offside rear tyres. The maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating, with the vehicle failing twice on the same test date in August 2024 and August 2023, indicating that basic upkeep and regular servicing were likely skipped during the ownership period. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the vehicle's age and its recorded test dates. The car is approximately eleven years old, yet it has only been tested in August 2025, creating a substantial gap of over two years. This lack of recent testing suggests that the vehicle may have been left in a state of inactivity or that the owner has not maintained the vehicle at the same frequency as the current owner, leading to accelerated wear on critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. A buyer should inspect the vehicle personally to verify the structural integrity of the suspension and brakes, which have been flagged as binding and worn, and to confirm the condition of the tyre tread and ply. Given the history of failures on the rear tyres and the lack of recent data on the front tyres, the presence of structural rust or corrosion in the exhaust system would also warrant immediate attention, as these are serious risks that could compromise the vehicle's safety and legal roadworthiness.
