2018 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · 44 BS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent MOT on 27 June 2025 at 5,235 miles. While a failure occurred in May 2024, the immediate rectification of the issue allowed for subsequent passes without further recorded defects. The lack of advisories across the last three tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components remain in good condition despite the low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 654 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 3,456 miles and June 2023 at 3,845 miles, the car covered only 389 miles in over fourteen months. This pattern indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which can lead to specific degradation issues not typically captured by mileage alone. However, the consistent progression of the odometer shows the car is still used occasionally rather than being a static museum-mileage example. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term storage and infrequent use. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers caused by the vehicle not moving regularly. Check the rubber-based components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, for dry rot or cracking which often occurs on low-mileage cars. Additionally, verify that the fluids have been changed according to time intervals as oil and brake fluid degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
