2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · AL18 DAV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 18 December 2025 at 22,759 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This continues a clean record spanning the last five annual tests, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids mechanical or structural failures during the official inspection process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,845 miles per year. Data from the November 2021 test at 7,574 miles to the December 2025 test at 22,759 miles shows the car covered only 15,185 miles over four years. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and primary suspension bushings. However, such low-frequency use can sometimes lead to flat spotting on tyres or the degradation of rubber components if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer must inspect for specific issues associated with low-age, low-mileage cars. Check the tyres for uneven wear or corrosion on the sidewalls, and inspect the brake discs for surface pitting caused by infrequent use. Given the age of the vehicle, verify that the fluids, particularly brake fluid and coolant, have been replaced regularly despite the low mileage. The absence of structural rust advisories in the records suggests the chassis remains in good condition, but a physical check of the underbody for surface corrosion remains standard practice.
