2022 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · MM71 HSN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on July 11, 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest record introduced a minor defect not present in previous tests. The tester flagged the offside front tyre as worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear, indicating a potential need for an alignment check or component replacement rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,666 miles per annum. Between the July 2024 test at 14,806 miles and the July 2025 test at 18,665 miles, the car covered 3,859 miles. This consistent usage suggests light driving patterns which generally preserves the drivetrain and suspension components, though low-mileage cars can occasionally suffer from flat-spotting or brake corrosion if left stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry to determine if the edge wear on the offside front tyre was caused by a worn bushing or misaligned control arm. Given that no structural corrosion or brake-related defects were recorded in the 2024 test, the mechanical history appears sound. Focus the physical inspection on verifying the condition of the brake pads and discs to ensure the low mileage has not led to excessive surface rusting or seized calipers.
