2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · NA18 AEN

This vehicle maintains a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT test on 20 May 2025 at 8,904 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2018 model, averaging roughly 1,113 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady but minimal, increasing by only 700 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. Such low usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which often presents different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of distance. While the MOT history shows no issues with brake discs or calipers, vehicles that sit idle are prone to brake disc corrosion and binding calipers. Check the tyre date codes during a physical inspection, as rubber perishes over time even if the tread remains deep. Verify the condition of the battery and fluid levels, as low-mileage cars often suffer from battery sulfation and moisture buildup in the exhaust system. The lack of any recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes or structural corrosion over five years is positive, but a manual check for perished rubber seals is advised given the car's age.
