2022 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · PY71 CFD

A clean recent roadworthiness record defines this vehicle, culminating in a pass on 3 February 2026 with no defects recorded. This follows a 4 February 2025 test that flagged comprehensive tyre issues, including worn edges on the front tyres and perishing or sidewall damage across the rear and nearside front tyres. The absence of advisories in the latest test indicates that these specific tyre defects have been resolved. The recorded mileage of 46,928 miles over approximately four years reflects a typical usage pattern of roughly 11,732 miles per year. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than standing for long periods. Mechanically, this means consumables such as brake discs and suspension components are subject to standard wear associated with this mileage, without the specific risks associated with extreme high-mileage wear or low-mileage stagnation. Inspection should focus on the current state of the tyres to ensure the replacements installed after the 2025 test are of a consistent grade and free from the perishing previously noted. During the test drive, the vehicle should be monitored for any steering pull or instability, which would suggest that the previous edge-wear on the front tyres was caused by poor wheel alignment that may still persist. Listen for any knocking or clicking sounds from the front suspension when navigating bumps or turning the steering wheel at low speeds, as the mileage is reaching a point where suspension bushes may begin to show wear. Ensure there is no judder through the brake pedal during deceleration to confirm the condition of the brake discs, complementing the clean MOT record with a physical assessment of the vehicle's handling and braking performance.
