2017 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Diesel · PU02 JAS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 15 December 2025 at 85,013 miles resulted in a pass despite noting an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This indicates that while the mechanical and structural components meet minimum standards, basic consumable maintenance is now reaching the end of its current service life cycle. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2024 at 48,535 miles and December 2024 at 70,366 miles, where the car covered over 21,000 miles in eleven months. This period of high intensity contrasts sharply with the previous years where the vehicle often covered fewer than 3,000 miles annually. This surge in mileage likely accelerated wear on the suspension bushings, brake components, and drivetrain assembly of the MINI Cooper S. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry specifically to address the uneven tyre wear flagged in the December 2025 entry. Such wear often stems from misalignment issues or worn control arm bushes. Given the recent high-mileage stint, a physical check of the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding is essential to ensure the increased driving has not stressed the braking system. The lack of recorded structural corrosion or exhaust failures suggests the chassis remains well-protected despite the fluctuating usage patterns.
