2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · FL68 LCC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 38,030 miles resulted in no defects, maintaining a stable trend of excellent mechanical presentation over the last several years. This clean record suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in older cars. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,754 miles per year. Data from the August 2022 test at 29,567 miles to the February 2026 test shows consistent usage patterns with a total accumulation of roughly 8,500 miles over three and a half years. This low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake assemblies. However, low-use vehicles can sometimes lead to age-related perish of rubber components or brake corrosion if the car has sat for extended periods without regular movement. While the MOT history shows no faults, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components sensitive to low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for flat spotting or uneven wear caused by stationary periods and inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or rust. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the condition of the suspension rubbers for cracking and ensure there are no fluid leaks from the engine seals. The lack of recorded advisories across the history indicates a well-cared-for example, but physical verification remains necessary to confirm that low-mileage use has not masked environmental neglect.
