Things to check
- Offside Front Tyre had a major cut failure on 2024-10-24, indicating a past safety concern.
- Community-reported 'head gasket' and 'timing chain' failures are significant potential future repair costs for this MINI model.
- The 2022-11-04 advisory for front tyre wear suggests a pattern of tyre maintenance issues.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory averaging 7,483 miles/year, well below UK average.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects in the MOT history.
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-13, indicating current roadworthiness.
