2018 MINI COOPER1.5L Petrol

The 2018 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 33,206 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. No advisories for worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing emissions appear anywhere in the chain. The brief failure logged on 7 June 2023 at 26,190 miles carries no listed defect, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits low at roughly 4,151 miles per year against an eight-year life. The gap between the 7 January 2022 pass at 21,027 miles and the June 2023 pass at 26,190 miles shows only 5,163 miles added in seventeen months. From there the car crept to 28,829 miles by June 2024 and 33,206 by June 2025, confirming light use. Such standing time can let brake calipers seize or tyres crack, yet the record flags none of these. A buyer should still confirm in person that the front brake discs and calipers are free, given the long idle stretches between tests. Inspect the underbody and sills for structural corrosion the tester may not have captured on a clean pass. Check the coil springs and suspension arms for perishing rubbers caused by age rather than mileage. The absence of recurring faults points to an owner who kept basic upkeep current despite low running. The clean 2025 result means no outstanding mechanical risk shows on paper. A pre-purchase glance at consumables like wiper blades and tyre sidewalls remains sensible, but the MOT history gives no cause to suspect hidden wear.
