2018 MINI COOPER1.5L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean inspection history. The most recent test conducted on 30 July 2025 at 40,413 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just five days prior at 40,411 miles. While the failure record shows no specific defects, it suggests a minor administrative error or a non-presentation issue that was rectified immediately before the retest. The car currently meets all statutory standards. The mileage pattern indicates low usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,052 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 22,756 miles and December 2023 at 31,139 miles, the car covered 8,383 miles, showing a slight spike in activity. However, the subsequent interval slowed significantly, with only 9,274 miles covered by July 2025. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it increases the risk of rubber perish and brake corrosion due to longer periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recorded mechanical advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than heavy wear. Check the brake discs for pitting or surface rust, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. Inspect the sidewalls of the tyres for cracking and examine the condition of the suspension components for signs of dry rot. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or recurring fluid leaks, suggesting the previous owners maintained the vehicle well despite the low usage.
