MINI COOPER2018 · 1.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record across the three most recent testing cycles. The most recent MOT conducted in November 2025 at 72,456 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the previous mechanical and safety issues identified have been addressed. This suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the current owner following the earlier failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 9,000 miles between the December 2022 test and the January 2024 test, followed by a steady accumulation of 9,908 miles between January 2024 and November 2025. This regularity suggests consistent use, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and braking components to prevent the seizing or corrosion of parts often associated with long periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the areas that have shown early signs of wear. The December 2022 test at 42,004 miles flagged pitted front brake discs and a damaged windscreen, while the January 2024 failure resulted due to insufficient tread depth on both front tyres. While these are standard consumable wear items, a buyer should verify the current condition of the front brake pads and rotors to ensure the replacement was carried out with quality components. Given the age and mileage, checking the suspension bushes for cracking or tearing is also advisable, as these components are common points of failure on this platform as they age.
