2020 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · RA70 AFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by two consecutive MOT passes. The most recent test on 03 December 2024 at 23,409 miles resulted in a pass with a single advisory regarding a nearside front tyre showing signs of damage or cracking. This indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components remain within legal parameters, though rubber components are beginning to show signs of age-related degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per annum. Between the December 2023 test at 18,103 miles and the December 2024 test, the car covered only 5,306 miles, suggesting infrequent road use. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, long periods of standing can cause certain rubber components like tyres and bushes to perish or seize out over time rather than physical friction. A buyer should inspect the nearside front tyre specifically to determine if the cracking noted in the 2024 test has progressed to a structural failure. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs when a vehicle is not driven regularly enough to keep the rotors clean. Additionally, verify the fluid levels and the condition of the brake fluid, as these absorb moisture over time despite the low mileage recorded.
