Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for a buyer seeking a well-documented MINI Cooper. The clean MOT history across four years of testing provides a consistent record of compliance.
Given the clean MOT history, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the 1.5L petrol engine has received regular oil changes. While the MOTs show no defects, these tests are snapshots in time and do not confirm mechanical health between inspections.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of recent maintenance, particularly regarding consumables. Since the aggregate data for this model identifies tyres, headlamps, and brake pads as common failure points, check the current tread depth and pad thickness to see if these will require immediate investment.
As a 1499cc petrol model, running costs are generally moderate for a premium small car. You should expect standard insurance groups for a MINI Cooper and a fuel economy profile typical of a 1.5L turbocharged engine.
Maintenance costs will likely follow the standard patterns for this model. While the MOT history has been defect-free, you should budget for the common wear-and-tear items identified in the wider model data, such as tyres and braking components, as the vehicle enters a higher mileage bracket.
Focus your physical inspection on the areas most likely to trigger an MOT failure for this model: check the tyre tread and sidewall condition, ensure both headlamps are clear and functioning correctly, and inspect the brake pads and discs for excessive wear.
Additionally, because this vehicle has covered 65,524 miles—well above the annual average—inspect the suspension components and engine bay for any signs of leaks or wear that might not yet have resulted in an MOT failure but are common as mileage increases.
This 2018 Grey MINI Cooper (AJ18UUG) has covered 65,524 miles since its first registration in July 2018. The vehicle has a consistent MOT history, passing four consecutive tests from 2022 to 2025 without a single recorded defect. Its mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,236 miles per year, suggesting it has been used more frequently than many other examples in the dataset.
The MINI Cooper shows an 87.5% average MOT pass rate across 243,231 analysed vehicles, with tyres, headlamps, and brake pads being the most frequent failure reasons.
