2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · MD68 AAE

The 2018 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 December 2025 at 70,769 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since 2022. No advisories or failures appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the official test scope during this period. Annual mileage sits close to typical expectations for an eight-year-old car. The records show 25,938 miles at the April 2022 test, rising to 37,103 by April 2023, 47,652 by January 2024, 60,714 by January 2025, and 70,769 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year between tests, with no standing gaps or abrupt accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail because every entry returned a pass with no defects noted. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The MOT only captures roadworthiness at the test moment and does not measure suspension bush wear, coil spring fatigue, or brake disc thickness once outside failure limits. Previous owners kept the car to a passable standard, yet absence of advisories means latent corrosion or drivetrain wear could exist unseen. Focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity, front suspension arms, and rear brake calipers for binding. Verify tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions against current limits. The record implies conscientious basic upkeep, but the lack of flagged consumable replacements across 44,831 miles warrants confirming actual component condition before purchase.
