2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · LD67 AAE

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 April 2026 at 100,240 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement. After a period of recurring advisories regarding consumables between 2020 and 2024, the 2025 and 2026 tests indicate that previous mechanical issues have been addressed, resulting in two consecutive clean certificates. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage without significant periods of inactivity. Between the September 2023 test at 76,953 miles and the September 2024 test at 91,444 miles, the vehicle covered 14,491 miles, suggesting a slightly higher usage period during that interval. The most recent gap between the March 2025 test and the April 2026 test shows a standard annual progression. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre wear patterns. The record shows a history of brake pad and disc issues, specifically the offside rear brake disc being pitted and scored in September 2024. While the 2026 test was clean, the recurring nature of brake pad wear since 2020 suggests the calipers or pads require close monitoring. The tester also flagged a disconnected brake pad warning wire in 2024, which warrants verification that the sensor system is now fully operational. Suspension and alignment should also be scrutinised. The September 2020 test noted uneven tyre wear on the rear inner edges, and the 2021 and 2023 tests both flagged tyres wearing close to the legal limit or on the edges. This pattern often points to underlying suspension bush wear or incorrect wheel alignment. Although the recent tests show no current defects, checking for uneven tread wear on the front and rear tyres will confirm if the previous alignment issues have been permanently resolved.
