2018 MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS2.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT test on 29 May 2025 with 8,956 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met the standard following initial test failures. While the record shows failures on the same days as the passes, the immediate subsequent passes suggest these were administrative errors or minor items rectified quickly rather than deep mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,120 miles per year. Data shows consistent low-mileage intervals, moving from 6,998 miles in May 2023 to 8,025 miles in May 2024, and reaching 8,956 miles by May 2025. This pattern indicates the car has spent significant periods of its life sitting stationary. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can often lead to issues with components that age through or benefit from regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation during low-use or stationary periods. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, as the pads may not have wiped the rotors frequently enough to keep them clean. Inspect rubber-based items like suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, which occurs over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally, verify the tyre condition for flat spots or age rot, as low-mile vehicles often outlast their rubber before the tread depth reaches legal limits.
