Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a buyer looking for a well-used but recently compliant MINI Cooper. While the MOT history shows a pattern of minor failures, the most recent tests indicate the vehicle is currently meeting all safety standards.
When inspecting this 1.6L petrol MINI, focus on the automatic gearbox performance. Ensure gear changes are smooth and that there is no slipping or hesitation, as automatic transmissions in this era require consistent maintenance. Given the mileage is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay.
Since the MOT history shows two failures in 2024 and 2025, ask the seller for the specific reasons for those failures. Even though the data provided doesn't list the defects, knowing whether they were related to tyres, brakes, or lighting will give you a better idea of how the car has been used. Always verify the service history to see if the automatic transmission fluid has ever been changed.
As a 1598cc petrol engine, this MINI falls into a moderate insurance group and tax band typical for its age. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, particularly with the automatic gearbox, which generally consumes more fuel than the manual counterpart.
Maintenance costs for a 2007 MINI can vary; while parts are widely available, specialist labour for the automatic system can be higher. Expect typical maintenance costs to include regular oil changes, brake replacements, and tyre upkeep. An estimated annual running cost is likely to fall between £900 and £1,200 depending on mileage and insurance profile.
Start by checking the exterior for any paintwork inconsistencies, particularly on this red model, which can show signs of fading if not kept in a garage. Inspect the tyres and brake pads thoroughly, as the MOT history indicates the car has failed tests previously, suggesting these consumable items may be a recurring point of attention.
Under the bonnet, look for any signs of weeping from the engine or cooling system. Because this is a 2007 model, check the condition of rubber hoses and belts. Finally, test all electrical components, including lights and indicators, to ensure the issues that led to the recent MOT failures have been fully rectified.
This 2007 red MINI Cooper Auto has covered 92,405 miles since its first registration in March 2007. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent pass in May 2025. Although the vehicle has experienced two MOT failures in the last two years, these were followed by successful retests, and no specific defect types were recorded in the provided data.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the MINI Cooper Auto to provide a specific statistical trend.
