2015 MINI ONE 1.2L Petrol · PY15 LPL

The most recent MOT test on 2026-05-20 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 118,820 miles, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past year. However, the history reveals a recurring pattern of front tyre wear—specifically, near and offside front tyres reaching or exceeding the legal limit in three consecutive tests (2023, 2024, and 2025). While the most recent pass suggests these issues were rectified, the persistent advisories imply either inconsistent tyre rotation or a lack of proactive maintenance. The absence of any major advisories or failures in the last two tests suggests the vehicle has not suffered from critical mechanical failures, but the tyre history raises questions about owner diligence with consumable components. The mileage progression of approximately 10,800 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between tests remains consistent at around 12 months, which is standard practice. There is no evidence of excessive wear or neglect in the mileage pattern, though the recurrence of tyre advisories—despite the vehicle passing all other checks—suggests basic upkeep may have been overlooked. The lack of any advisories in the 2022 test further indicates that, at least at that point, the vehicle was being maintained adequately. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the front suspension components, particularly the alignment and condition of the front tyres, given their repeated advisories. The wear patterns suggest potential camber or toe misalignment, which could accelerate uneven tyre degradation. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. The brakes were never flagged in the MOT history, but a thorough check of the rear calipers and discs is warranted, especially if the vehicle exhibits any pulling or binding during braking. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on the wheel arches and subframe for signs of corrosion or damage, as these areas are prone to deterioration in a 2015 model with this mileage.
