2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · GY18 KFT

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 May 2026 at 45,870 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, evidenced by three consecutive years of zero recorded defects between 2022 and 2024. The most recent test introduced only minor advisories regarding tyre condition, which represents a typical age-related issue rather than a mechanical or structural failure. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression, moving from 27,951 miles in May 2022 to 45,870 miles in May 2026. This low usage suggests the car has seen light service, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the low annual mileage combined with the vehicle's age often indicates that rubber-based components may degrade regardless of distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear tyres specifically, as the May 2026 test flagged cracking and perishing on both the nearside and offside rear tyres. Given the low mileage, these issues likely stem from dry rot and age rather than tread wear. It is also advisable to check for brake disc corrosion and seizing, as vehicles that sit for long periods can suffer from oxidation on the braking system. The clean record shows no history of structural rust or suspension failures, suggesting the integrity of the chassis remains sound.
