2015 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · YA15 RPU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 95,217 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of significant mechanical neglect in early 2024. While the car suffered from multiple suspension and tyre issues previously, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the previous owner addressed the outstanding faults that had been flagged in the prior years. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of roughly 11,500 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 12,700 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has been driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the health of the rubber components and mechanical seals despite the wear seen on the suspension. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 failure at 72,717 miles identified excessively worn lower suspension arm bushes. Although these were reportedly rectified, the recurring nature of corrosion on the rear coil springs across 2024 and 2025 indicates an environment prone to salt or moisture damage. You must visually inspect the springs for any fractures or deep rust and ensure the front nearside tyre does not exhibit further uneven wear, which was a noted issue in the 2025 test.
