2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · WM64 TZT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 at 80,690 miles with no recorded defects. This result indicates a stable maintenance trend following a significant failure earlier in January 2025. While the most recent inspection was clean, the transition from a comprehensive failure to a pass within a month suggests that the previous owner addressed urgent mechanical and safety issues immediately rather than following a proactive preventative schedule. At 80,690 miles over eleven years, this MINI Cooper has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for its age. The data shows a notable spike in activity between January 2024 and January 2025, where the car covered nearly 6,000 miles in a single year. This period of higher use likely contributed to the wear observed during the January 2025 test, as the vehicle moved from a period of lower mileage into more consistent driving which accelerated the degradation of rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres and brake assembly, as the history reveals recurring issues in these areas. The 2023 and 2025 tests both flagged perishing and cracking on the rear tyres, suggesting the vehicle may sit for long periods or be exposed to environmental factors that degrade rubber. The January 2025 failure for thin offside rear brake pads and a pitted disc indicates that the braking system was reaching the end of its service life. A physical inspection should verify the remaining tread on all four tyres and check for any signs of uneven wear or sticking calipers to ensure the repairs made after the 2025 failure were executed to a professional standard.
