2018 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · CF18 ACU

The 2018 MINI Cooper S presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 68,546 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed test on the same date at 68,540 miles shows no defects listed, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure, and the vehicle was promptly certified the same day. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,568 miles per year. The record moves cleanly from 35,772 miles on 20 February 2023 to 48,136 miles on 13 February 2024, then 60,653 miles on 6 February 2025, and 68,546 miles on 30 January 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean pass history with zero advisories across five years suggests the previous keeper kept consumables and core systems within tolerance, though sparse commentary means wear was either absent or not formally noted. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mixed test entries. The same-day fail and pass without recorded defects warrants confirmation that no latent issue such as a binding caliper or emissions fault was masked by a retest. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked despite the absence of advisories, as MINI platforms of this era can develop rust in sills and subframes under light use.
