2018 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · CF68 AAX

The vehicle presents a broadly roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 17 October 2025 at 53,390 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations on 22 January 2025 at 52,248 miles and 26 January 2024 at 48,913 miles also passed cleanly. A anomalous failure appears on 26 January 2024 at the identical mileage of 48,913 with no defects logged; this duplicate-date entry suggests an administrative re-test or data omission rather than a mechanical fault. The consecutive clean results with zero advisories on suspension, brakes, or corrosion indicate the previous keeper addressed wear proactively and avoided deferred consumable neglect. The MINI Cooper S has covered 53,390 miles over approximately eight years, equating to a typical annual average near 6,674 miles. The odometer advanced from 43,533 miles at the 2 February 2023 test to 48,913 miles by 26 January 2024, a twelve-month gain of 5,380 miles. Coverage then slowed to 3,335 miles by 22 January 2025 and only 1,142 miles to the October 2025 test. Such deceleration implies lighter recent use, possibly periods of storage. The MOT dataset remains sparse with merely five entries, yet each cleared without recorded fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of components the annual test may not flag when no advisories exist. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing induced by low-mileage standing. Check brake discs for surface corrosion and calipers for binding after infrequent operation. Verify structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for rust bloom despite clean exhaust emissions results. Tyre sidewalls and wiper blades warrant visual check for age cracking even though tread met limits.
