Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a relatively solid option. While the 2024 MOT history shows several electrical and lighting failures, the most recent test in December 2025 was passed with no defects recorded.
When inspecting this specific MINI, your primary focus should be verifying that the engine malfunction (MIL) reported in November 2024 has been fully resolved. Ask the seller for documentation or receipts relating to the repair of the engine management system and the headlamp assembly.
Because this vehicle has covered significantly more mileage than the aggregate average for this model, check for signs of wear on the interior controls and seat bolsters. Ensure the service history is complete to compensate for the higher-than-average usage, and confirm that the lighting issues noted in the 2024 failure were not just bulb replacements but addressed any underlying electrical faults.
As a 1.5L petrol model, this MINI Cooper generally falls into a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for the 1499cc engine is typically efficient for urban and suburban driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style and maintenance.
Typical maintenance costs for this model include regular oil changes and brake component replacements, which are noted as common failure points in the wider model aggregate data. Given the mileage, you should budget for upcoming consumables such as tyres and brake pads.
You must specifically inspect the lighting system. The November 2024 MOT failure recorded issues with the offside front headlamp (dipped and main beam), the headlamp levelling device, and the front position lamp. Ensure all beams work correctly and the levelling mechanism functions as intended.
Additionally, investigate the engine management light (MIL) issue recorded in late 2024. While the December 2025 MOT passed with no defects, any recurring engine warning lights during your test drive would indicate the previous fault was not permanently rectified. Finally, check the tyres and brakes, as these are the most frequent failure reasons for this model across the 243,231 vehicles analysed.
This 2019 silver MINI Cooper has covered 48,231 miles, which is higher than the model average of 6,236 miles per year. The vehicle's MOT history shows a period of concern in late 2024 involving engine warning light issues and multiple headlamp failures, though these appear to have been addressed given the clean pass in December 2025.
Aggregate data from over 243,000 vehicles suggests that tyres, headlamps, and brake pads are the most common MOT failure points for this model.
