2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · CF68 ADX

The MOT record for this 2018 MINI Cooper shows a consistently clean and stable roadworthiness history. All five annual tests from November 2021 through July 2025 resulted in passes with no defects or advisories recorded. The most recent test, conducted on 4 July 2025 at 34,082 miles, confirms the vehicle meets all current standards without any flagged concerns. This pattern indicates diligent maintenance and no underlying mechanical or structural deterioration over the past four years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 4,260 miles per year. The recorded figures show a steady, linear increase with no sudden jumps or long gaps: 17,291 miles in November 2021, 21,938 in November 2022, 25,688 in October 2023, 29,200 in July 2024, and 34,082 in July 2025. This consistent annual usage suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which reduces the risk of seized components or degraded seals. Despite the clean MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components that can suffer from light use. Brake discs and calipers may show surface corrosion if the car has made many short journeys, and tyres could have age-related cracking even with adequate tread depth. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers should be checked for deterioration, as low mileage does not protect rubber parts from ageing. The exhaust system and underbody should also be examined for any corrosion, particularly if the car has been used on salted roads. Overall, the MOT history is exemplary, but a thorough physical inspection remains essential to confirm the car’s true condition.
