2020 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · LK70 VHD

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 80,101 miles. This result shows no recorded defects, indicating that the previous owner addressed the mechanical issues identified in prior tests. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle moved from a failure in mid-2024 to a clean pass in the most recent inspection. At over 80,000 miles in six years, this MINI Cooper S has covered an average of 13,350 miles annually, which exceeds the national average for its age. The record shows consistent usage, with approximately 27,400 miles covered between August 2023 and December 2025. While this frequency suggests regular mechanical use rather than neglect, the higher mileage places significant stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to a lower-mileage example of the same era. A prospective buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and brakes given the recurring history of component wear. The August 2023 test at 52,688 miles flagged multiple tyres for uneven wear and perishing, while the August 2024 failure at 62,516 miles identified a torn offside rear tyre and thin rear brake pads. These faults point to potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that could cause premature tyre degradation. Verify the current state of the brake discs and check for any play in the steering to ensure the high-mileage usage has not led to structural degradation of the handling assembly.
