Our Verdict
This MINI Cooper S presents a solid prop
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres and headlamps, as these are common failure points for the MINI Cooper model across the wider fleet. Verify that the service history aligns with the mileage progression observed between the 2024 and 2026 MOT tests.
Ensure that all electronic features are functioning correctly, as modern MINIs are heavily reliant on complex onboard systems. Given the Cooper S performance profile, check for even tyre wear, which can indicate if the vehicle has been driven in a manner that puts extra stress on the suspension components.
As a 1.5-litre petrol model, this Cooper S falls into a moderate insurance group, though premiums will vary based on your personal driving history and location. Fuel economy will largely depend on your driving style, with the Cooper S engine designed for a balance of performance and efficiency.
Annual running costs should account for standard maintenance, such as oil changes and filter replacements, in addition to the VED (Road Tax) applicable to a 2021 Euro 6 petrol vehicle. Budgeting for premium tyres is recommended to maintain the handling characteristics typical of this model.
While the MOT history shows no defects, perform a physical check of the windscreen wipers and glass, as these frequently appear as minor failure points in aggregate data for this model. Inspect the condition of the alloy wheels for any signs of kerbing or structural damage that might not be captured in an MOT test.
Check the exterior bodywork and lighting units for any signs of condensation or damage. Ensure that the dashboard does not display any warning lights when the engine is running and that all interior cabin features, including the infotainment system, are fully operational.
Registered in December 2021, this green MINI Cooper S has covered 36,905 miles over its life. The vehicle has successfully passed three consecutive MOT tests, with the most recent occurring in May 2026. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across these tests is a notable aspect of its history.
The MINI Cooper S generally performs in line with the brand's average, with a model-wide MOT pass rate of 88.0%.
