2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · MD68 AAV

The 2018 MINI COOPER demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-18 confirming a pass at 57,582 miles. Despite a failed test recorded on the same date, no defects were listed, suggesting the failure may have been a procedural error or minor non-compliance resolved before the pass. Previous tests from 2024 to 2022 show consistent passing with no recorded issues, indicating reliable maintenance. The vehicle’s mechanical systems appear to have been well-maintained, with no evidence of recurring faults or escalating concerns. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,198 miles annually. The MOTs are spaced consistently, with intervals of 11–12 months, reflecting regular servicing. The 2024 test at 52,850 miles and subsequent 2025 test at 57,582 miles show a steady increase of 4,732 miles, indicating active use without prolonged inactivity. This pattern suggests the car has not been left unused for extended periods, reducing risks of component degradation from stagnation. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade over time. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for uneven wear or binding, common in vehicles with moderate mileage. While no structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues were flagged, a physical inspection of the underbody for rust and the exhaust system for leaks is advisable. The absence of recorded defects in the MOT history supports the vehicle’s reliability, but a pre-purchase check remains essential to confirm the integrity of critical systems.
