Our Verdict
A solid purchase option with a relativel
When viewing this vehicle, focus on the service history to ensure the 1.5L petrol engine has been maintained according to manufacturer schedules. While the MOT history is relatively clean, the 2023 record noted tyre wear on both rear tyres and thinning brake pads, so you should check the current tread depth and brake pad life to ensure they aren't nearing another replacement interval.
Negotiate based on the upcoming MOT requirement and the age of the tyres. Given the previous failures related to tyre wear and headlamp aim, it is worth checking that all lighting components are functioning correctly and that the wheel alignment feels straight during a test drive, as uneven tyre wear was noted in the 2023 inspection.
As a 1.5L petrol model, this MINI Cooper is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it accessible for many drivers. Fuel economy for this engine variant is typically efficient for urban and suburban driving.
Annual running costs are estimated to be moderate, with maintenance costs being influenced by the typical MINI requirement for premium tyres and brake components. You should budget for regular servicing and potential wear-and-tear items like tyres, which have appeared in this vehicle's MOT history previously.
Specifically inspect the tyres and wheels. The 2023 MOT recorded both nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, which can indicate alignment issues. Ensure the current set of tyres shows even wear across the tread.
Check the lighting system thoroughly. A previous failure in 2025 was due to the offside headlamp aim being too high. While this was rectified for the pass, it is prudent to verify that all headlights and indicators are aimed correctly and functioning without flicker. Finally, check the brake pad thickness, as thinning pads were an advisory in the 2023 test.
This 2019 blue MINI Cooper has covered 39,035 miles as of January 2026, which is slightly above the model average of 6,214 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor maintenance items, such as tyre wear and headlamp aim, but the most recent test in early 2026 passed with no defects recorded. It represents a typical example of a well-used, modern petrol MINI.
The MINI Cooper model shows an average MOT pass rate of 87.7% across the aggregate data, with common failure points including tyres, washer jets, and brake pads.
