2018 MINI Cooper 2.0L Petrol · FG68 NWC

The 2018 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 September 2025 at 65,522 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the vehicle's lifetime. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 8,190 miles, consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 23,625 miles in August 2021, 32,956 by September 2022, 47,103 in September 2023, 56,687 in September 2024, and 65,522 in September 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Every test passed with zero advisories, so the DVSA data offers no flags on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. Given the spotless history, the previous owner clearly kept the car to a disciplined service and inspection regime. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. With no advisories logged, attention should fall on items the MOT does not deeply assess: cambelt or chain condition, fluid levels, and hidden structural rust on sills or subframes. Check the brake discs for lip wear and the coil springs for fracture, though testers found nothing. The clean record implies light mechanical risk, but an independent appraisal remains sensible on a used hatch at this mileage.
