2019 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · LR69 HRM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in attention. While it passed its latest MOT on 30 September 2025 at 36,601 miles, it failed just one day prior due to an offside rear tyre with exposed cords and a nearside rear inner tyre worn to the legal limit. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately after this failure suggests the owner addressed the immediate faults, but the incident indicates a failure to monitor critical tyre condition prior to the test. The mileage profile is consistent with low-use patterns, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year over seven years. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 4,000 miles between annual tests from 2022 to 2024, where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects. The jump of 4,000 miles recorded between October 2024 and September 2025 aligns with this historical trend. Such low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or the degradation of rubber components if the car sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should personally inspect the alignment of the rear axle, as the nearside inner tyre being worn on the edge in 2025 suggests a camber issue or a worn suspension bush. Check the remaining tyres for uneven wear patterns to ensure the failure was not indicative of a broader mechanical misalignment. Given the low mileage and age, also verify the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for seizing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from brake-related neglect. No structural corrosion or exhaust issues were flagged in the history, suggesting the primary chassis remains sound.
