2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · FP18 UMB

The 2018 MINI Cooper presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 44,742 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since April 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-entry history, which indicates the vehicle has been presented for test in sound condition each time. Annual mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car at roughly 5,593 miles per year. The records show steady, light use: 32,658 miles in April 2022, 34,425 by December 2022, 37,789 in November 2023, 41,137 in December 2024, and 44,742 in December 2025. The gap between the April and December 2022 tests covers only 1,767 miles, while yearly increments elsewhere stay near 3,000 to 3,400 miles. Such low, consistent accumulation with no test gaps points to a car used for short local journeys rather than high-speed motorway commuting. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or failing emissions at each visit. The buyer should still confirm in person that brake discs and pads retain material, as low mileage and standing periods can cause surface corrosion or seized handbrake mechanisms not always caught in a pass result. Tyres and wiper blades may have aged through time rather than wear, so check sidewall cracking and rubber condition despite adequate tread. Given the sparse but fault-free record, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current and avoided deferred repairs that normally surface as advisories. The absence of recurring problems suggests no worsening trend in mechanical or structural health. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to verify underside condition and fluid intervals, but the documented history gives no cause for concern on roadworthiness.
