Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise reviewing the full service history to ensure the high-performance 1598cc engine has been serviced at the correct intervals. While the MOT history is clean, these models require strict adherence to oil and filter changes to maintain performance. Check for any evidence of oil leaks or cooling system issues, which are common points of inspection for this engine variant.
Negotiate based on the current state of the windscreen, as it was flagged as damaged in May 2025. Additionally, verify the current tread depth and brand of the tyres, as the 2023 MOT highlighted wear on both rear tyres. Ensure that the brakes and suspension components show wear consistent with the 68,467 miles recorded.
As a John Cooper Works model, this vehicle will have higher running costs than a standard MINI. Expect higher insurance premiums due to the performance nature of the JCW trim and a higher fuel consumption rate for the 1.6L petrol engine, especially if driven spiritedly.
Annual costs will include the standard VED road tax for a 2013 petrol vehicle and maintenance for high-performance tyres and brakes, which wear faster than on standard models. The estimated annual running cost is likely to be on the higher side for a small car.
Focus your inspection on the windscreen to see if the damage noted in the May 2025 MOT has been repaired or if it has spread. Check the rear tyres specifically, as the May 2023 test recorded both the nearside and offside rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit.
Given the vehicle's age and performance specification, inspect the underside for corrosion and check the condition of the brake discs for significant lip wear. While no major defects were recorded in the 2026 MOT, a physical check of the suspension bushings is recommended to ensure the handling remains sharp.
This 2013 black MINI John Cooper Works has covered 68,467 miles, which is low for its age. The MOT record shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only minor advisories regarding tyre wear in 2023 and windscreen damage in 2025. It presents as a well-documented example with a stable testing history.
While aggregate data is unavailable, this specific vehicle has demonstrated a consistent MOT pass rate over the last five years.
