2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · YB18 ABX

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 9 May 2025 at 44,333 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean record across the last five tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters without the emergence of recurring failures or de-rating issues. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,542 miles per year. Data shows a period of inactivity between November 2021 and May 2022, where the car covered only 231 miles in six months. Since the 2022 test, usage has increased, with the vehicle covering 24,840 miles over the following three years, representing a more active phase of 8,280 miles per annum. This low annual mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to higher-mileage contemporary models. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer should still inspect for issues associated with low-mileage vehicles that have sat. Check rubber components, such as sidewalls and suspension boots, for signs of cracking or perish from periods of standing. Because the tester has never flagged binding calipers or brake corrosion, verify the discs for surface pitting or rust which can occur when use is infrequent. The lack of structural advisories suggests the chassis remains sound, but a physical inspection of the underbody is standard practice to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed.
