2008 MINI COOPER1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on January 30, 2026 at 110,835 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the car's mechanical and structural integrity to a high standard. The failure recorded on January 18, 2024, appears to be an isolated incident since the vehicle was re-tested and passed the very following day without any subsequent issues noted. At 110,835 miles over 18 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,158 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,500 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 4,761 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. This regularity indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect which often leads to seized components, rubber degradation, or fluid contamination. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should still focus a physical inspection on common MINI specific failure points that do not always trigger a test failure. Check the condition of the front suspension bushes and control arm bolts, as these are prone to wear on higher mileageage chassis. Given the age, a close look for surface corrosion on the rear subframe and inner sills is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains uncompromised despite the clean digital record.
