2017 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · MM66 RGX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward mechanical wear after several years of clean records. While the car passed without defects between 2022 and 2025, the April 2026 test at 106,451 miles flagged multiple advisories related to the suspension and braking systems. This trend suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where components components are requiring proactive replacement due to age and mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between the 2024 test at 81,842 miles and the 2026 test at 106,451 miles. This regular accumulation suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting idle, which helps prevent fluid degradation, though the high six-figure mileage naturally places significant stress on rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the front suspension, specifically checking the control arm bushes noted as worn in 2026. The presence of pitted and scored rear brake discs alongside fluctuating service brakes indicates the rear rotors are thinning or suffering from surface unevenness. You should verify the thickness of the brake pads and check for seized calipers that might be causing the reported fluctuations. Given the 2022 advisory regarding a worn nearside rear tyre, a thorough check of the current tyre wear patterns is necessary to ensure no alignment issues have developed.
