2018 MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS2.0L Petrol

The 2018 MINI John Cooper Works presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 62,004 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 27 February 2025 at 52,480 miles also showed a clean sheet. The single blemish is a failed test on 26 February 2025 at 54,280 miles, though the DVSA entry lists no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Across five years of records the vehicle has avoided any advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,750 miles, typical for an eight-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 39,687 miles in February 2023, 47,013 in February 2024, 52,480 in February 2025, and 62,004 by February 2026. The jump between the February 2025 pass and the February 2026 test covers nearly 9,500 miles, a slight rise over the prior yearly average but not abnormal for a JCW used as a weekend driver. The clean history with no recorded gaps or rapid clusters suggests the previous owner kept to a regular servicing and testing rhythm. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the coil springs, track rod ends, and calipers given the car's sporting suspension and the absence of any tester advisories that might otherwise reveal wear trends. The February 2025 failure with zero defects warrants a check of the DVSA test certificate to confirm it was a non-mechanical rejection, not a suppressed fault. No structural integrity concerns or recurring consumable neglect appear in the data, so the mechanical risk profile remains low for the age and mileage.
