2021 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · SR21 WWC

Routine brake‑disc wear and minor front‑tyre surface damage are the only notable items flagged in the MOT history, and the car cleared its most recent test on 21 September 2026 with no defects recorded. Apart from the February 2026 advisories – rear and front discs described as worn, pitted or scored, and both front tyres noted as slightly damaged or cracking – the vehicle has consistently passed without failures, indicating a generally stable roadworthiness profile. At 39,070 mi the car averages roughly 7,800 mi per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal usage for a five‑year‑old MINI John Cooper Works. The annual MOT schedule shows no gaps, suggesting the odometer reading is reliable and that the vehicle has not endured prolonged periods of inactivity. This moderate annual accumulation aligns with expected wear on consumables such as brake discs, pads and tyres, while leaving ample life in major components like the engine, transmission and suspension. When inspecting the brakes, pay particular attention to any pulsation or judder through the pedal, a high‑pitched squeal that varies with load, or a noticeable increase in stopping distance, all of which can signal that the already‑pitted discs are approaching the end of their serviceable thickness. Verify the condition of the brake pads for uneven wear and check the caliper mounting points for any play or leakage. A visual inspection of the front tyres should focus on sidewall cracks, tread delamination and any bulges that could confirm the advisory’s concern; uneven wear patterns may also reveal alignment or suspension issues. Although no other components have been flagged, a thorough road test is advisable to listen for knocks over bumps that could indicate worn suspension bushes or loose steering links, and to feel for any pull to one side that might betray subtle alignment drift. Confirm that all lights, indicators and the exhaust system operate correctly, and consider a professional inspection of the brake fluid and hoses as a precaution, given the recent disc wear advisories. Addressing the brake and tyre items promptly will help maintain the vehicle’s otherwise clean MOT record.
