Faulty TPMS?

Faulty TPMS?
I picked up my 2004 Cooper S from the dealership last weekend and noticed it riding a little rough on bumps. Since it was purchased out of state, I took it to my regular mechanic to get inspected. He noted that all four tires had worn out on the outsides and the tire pressure was 24 psi (nine pounds below the recommended standard of 33 psi on the 17's). I noted that the TPMS did not indicate low tire pressure and I suspect that the previous owner didn't notice either.
Is there any way of checking to see if the TPMS system is inoperable? In any event, I think I'm out four tires.

Just to make sure you understand, MINIs do not have a true TPMS. They do not monitor pressure at all. No sensors attached to the wheels. The MINI simply compares rotational speed to speculate that you might have a flat tire. I have had many Flat Tire Monitor alarms, Never had a flat.
