2022 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · MT71 FCE

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-09 recorded two front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. These issues were not present in the 2024-12-16 MOT, indicating a significant deterioration in tyre condition within 12 months. The 2024 MOT noted minor rear tyre perishing and a windscreen crack, but these were not repeated in the latest test. The recurring issue is tyre wear, particularly on the front tyres, which now approach the legal minimum tread depth. This suggests potential alignment problems, uneven wear patterns, or excessive use. The rear tyre perishing in 2024 may indicate age-related degradation, but no follow-up was recorded in 2025. The windscreen crack from 2024 was not mentioned in the latest test, implying it may have been repaired or replaced. The vehicle’s mileage of 27,286 miles over four years equates to roughly 6,822 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests neither heavy usage nor prolonged under-use, but tyre wear trends indicate localized stress rather than general deterioration. The front tyres’ condition is the most concerning, as they now require immediate attention to avoid failure.
