MINI COOPER2018 · 1.5L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 42,740 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a defective wiper blade and misaligned washer jets. These are minor consumable related faults that do not suggest deeper mechanical failure or structural instability. The overall trend remains stable, with the vehicle consistently passing its inspections after addressing basic electrical and visibility-related minors. At 42,740 miles over eight years, this MINI has covered a low average distance of approximately 5,342 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,900 miles driven between the November 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 3,800 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though low use can sometimes lead to brake corrosion or perished seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the windscreen and wiper assembly, as the 2025 failure highlighted issues with fluid delivery and blade quality. The 2024 failure for a non-functional horn should be verified to ensure the electrical repair remains reliable. While the 2023 advisory regarding a cut on the nearside front tyre was noted as not reaching the cords, a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure no structural rubber damage has since. The record shows no history of structural rust, brake binding, or suspension failures, so the focus should remain on the condition of rubber components and fluids consistent with a low-mileage vehicle.
