2015 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Diesel · YE64 CZC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. While it passed the test on 24 June 2025 at 92,451 miles, it had failed just one day prior due to multiple safety-related defects. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a list of failures in 2025 suggests a worsening trend in component oversight, where parts are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 69,730 miles in June 2022 to 86,307 miles in June 2024, before reaching 92,451 miles by the 2025 test. This low usage suggests the car has not been overstressed, which generally preserves drivetrain components, though the 6,000-mile gap between the last two tests is enough time to see the rapid degradation of rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer must personally inspect the front-end assembly, as the 2025 failure highlighted a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot and structural tyre bulges. If the CV boot was not replaced promptly, grease ingress will likely lead to expensive driveshaft joint failure. The braking system also shows signs of neglect, with thin pads noted in 2022 evolving into pitted and scored rear discs by 2025. These indicators suggest the braking components are nearing the end of their functional life and require a thorough check to ensure adequate stopping performance and no caliper binding.
