Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the low annual mileage, verify the service history to ensure oil changes were performed at the required intervals regardless of distance. Check for evidence of the rear brake pad replacement noted in the 2024 MOT and ensure the tyres are in good condition, as tyre wear was a recurring theme in the 2023 record. Negotiate based on any gaps in the service history, as low-use vehicles can sometimes have neglected maintenance schedules.
The 1499cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency, though insurance groups for the 'S' variant are typically higher than for the standard Cooper. Being Euro 6 DG, it is ULEZ compliant, avoiding daily charges in low-emission zones. Maintenance costs are generally moderate, though premium parts for MINIs can be more expensive than for budget brands.
Focus on the tyres and braking system; while the August 2026 MOT was clean, the 2023 and 2024 records highlighted tyre wear and thin rear brake pads. Ensure these have been replaced with quality components. Additionally, check the headlamps and windscreen wipers, as these are common failure points across the wider MINI Cooper population according to aggregate data.
This red 2020 MINI Cooper S has covered 19,411 miles, which is significantly below the model average. It has a record of four MOT passes, with only minor advisories regarding tyres and brake pads in earlier tests. The 1499cc Euro 6 petrol engine ensures compliance with current emissions standards.
The model has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 88%, with most failures relating to consumables like tyres and wipers.
