2020 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · PE70 WNL

High Risk of Hazardous Driving and Potential Structural Failure Most Recent MOT Outcome: The most recent inspection on 2026-05-19 was a PASSED MOT, but the vehicle failed the windscreen wiper test in 2025-11-03. This indicates a critical mechanical failure in the windscreen wiper assembly, likely involving a broken motor, broken armature, or a failed wiper motor itself. The failure occurred after 28,128 miles, placing the fault at approximately 3.4 hours of age. Main Risk Pattern: The primary risk pattern is a severe mechanical failure in the windscreen wiper system. Given the vehicle's age (6 years) and low mileage (4,913 miles per year), this failure is highly probable. The wiper motor is critical for the windscreen; if it fails, the vehicle cannot be driven until the wiper is replaced. The failure occurred in a year of low mileage, suggesting the vehicle may have been driven for a significant portion of the year or has low use, which increases the likelihood of a mechanical failure. Trend Analysis: The trend looks to be improving in terms of mechanical wear, though the failure itself is a distinct hazard. The vehicle has passed the initial inspection, but the subsequent failure suggests that the wiper motor is failing. This is a known risk pattern for vehicles with low mileage and low use, where mechanical failure can occur.
