2019 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · M23 JBJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 May 2026 at 53,997 miles. The overall maintenance trend is stable, although the record shows a recurring pattern of neglecting tyre wear. The latest test flagged both rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit with inner edge stepping, indicating a likely alignment issue or a failure to rotate tyres regularly. The mileage is typical for a seven year old car, averaging roughly 7,714 miles per year. Usage has increased slightly in recent years, with the odometer climbing 10,704 miles between October 2023 and November 2024, compared to a more modest 9,772 mile increase in the year prior. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, suggesting consistent annual compliance. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre tread and wheel alignment. The recurrence of edge wear on the front tyres in November 2024 and the rear tyres in May 2026 suggests a chronic tracking problem that may lead to premature tyre failure if left unaddressed. This pattern often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect toe settings. The brake system and cooling system require verification. The October 2023 test at 33,458 miles noted thin front brake pads and minimum coolant levels. While these were not flagged in subsequent tests, the buyer should confirm that the pads were replaced and the cooling system was properly topped up or pressure tested to ensure no slow leaks exist.
