OT ish - 51' BMW Mini pulling to the left

Afternoon.

The Mrs has a Mini One, but it pulls to the left a bit. Tyre pressure is fine.

Whats the 1st things to look for? Tracking?

Im gonna have a quick look at the suspension... but i hope its not that!

Binding brakes?

Tread depth? (You *do* rotate the rims, don't you?)

Or maybe just the extra weight in the offside biasing the car - every motor I've ever driven pulls left, and it's almost definitely down to my not inconsiderable mass in the drivers seat - if I get a similarly sized passenger it normally goes away.

If it's tracking etc it will normally want to go left all the time, a flat empty bit of road, a steady cruise, and a very very lightly held wheel will show that. be carefull though. More likely a brake binding, leaking brake etc. Check your handbook about wheel swapping, some BMW's say don't.

Mine seem to rotate quite nicely by themselves.....
