2018 MINI COOPER1.5L Petrol

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 19 March 2026 at 44,172 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of clean passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a stable mechanical condition and a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,522 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable, increasing by approximately 7,000 miles between the March 2024 test at 30,253 miles and the March 2025 test at 37,241 miles. There are no erratic jumps or suspicious gaps in the record that would suggest clocking or prolonged periods of stagnation. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged issues, there are no recurring mechanical faults to highlight. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions suggests the previous owner did not neglect basic upkeep. The lack of structural corrosion mentions is positive, though typical for a car of this age and mileage. A physical inspection should focus on components that MOT testers often overlook or that degrade regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking and verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and filters were changed at the correct intervals. Low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from perished rubber seals or battery degradation if they spent long periods stationary, so a thorough check of the fluid levels and battery health is advised.
