2018 MINI COOPER1.5L Petrol

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 47,884 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue before the final pass was issued. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 5,986 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent over the last four years, rising from 27,362 miles in September 2022 to 47,884 miles by September 2025. This steady increase indicates regular, light usage rather than long periods of stagnation, which reduces the likelihood of seized calipers or perished seals. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across five tests. Such a sparse record is unusual and suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained or driven very gently. Because the DVSA records show no recurring faults, there are no specific mechanical red flags to highlight from the data. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the consumables. Low-mileage vehicles can suffer from tyre cracking due to age rather than wear, and brake fluid can degrade regardless of distance travelled. Checking for perished rubber components and verifying the service history for oil changes will confirm if the mechanical care matches the clean MOT record.
