Our Verdict
This is a sensible option for a buyer se
When inspecting this specific LB64AAE vehicle, focus on the tyres. Although the 2022 MOT recorded multiple issues with cracking, perishing, and wear across all four tyres, the 2024 and 2026 tests were clear. You should check the current tread depth and look for any signs of sidewall cracking to ensure the replacements made after 2022 were of good quality.
Given the low mileage, check for any signs of age-related deterioration in rubber components or seals that may occur when a car is driven infrequently. Ask the seller for evidence of any service history that aligns with the low mileage, as regular oil changes are vital for the 1.6L petrol engine.
The 1598cc petrol engine typically sits in a moderate insurance group and offers reasonable fuel economy for a small hatchback. Tax bands for 2015 MINIs vary depending on exact CO2 emissions, so verify the specific rate for this registration.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though tyre replacement costs should be factored in more frequently if the car is driven on sharp corners, which is common for MINI owners. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, typically fall between £1,100 and £1,400.
Pay close attention to the lighting system. The 2026 MOT noted an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp, and the 2022 test noted an inoperative offside lamp. Ensure all exterior bulbs, including the number plate lights, are functioning correctly.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly. The 2022 MOT history is notable for multiple advisories regarding tyres being 'damaged/cracking or perishing' and 'worn close to legal limit'. Even though recent tests passed, a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls is essential to ensure no further perishing is occurring due to the vehicle's age.
This 2015 silver MINI Cooper has covered 33,406 miles, which is significantly lower than the UK average for an 11-year-old petrol vehicle. The MOT history shows a period of concern in 2022 regarding tyre condition and lighting, but the 2024 and 2026 tests indicate no recorded defects. The vehicle appears to have been used sparingly, given the mileage progression.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific MINI Cooper model to provide a statistical comparison.
