Our Verdict

A strong recommendation for buyers seeki

Focus on verifying the service history, as low-mileage vehicles still require interval-based maintenance regardless of the distance covered. Check for evidence of oil leaks or coolant loss, which are standard inspection points for this engine size.

Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres, ensuring the advisories from the February 2025 test regarding the nearside and offside front tyres have been fully addressed with replacements.

The 2.0L petrol engine provides a balance of performance and economy, though insurance groups for the 'S' model are typically higher than the standard Cooper. Road tax will be based on the vehicle's 2017 registration and CO2 emissions.

Annual costs will include fuel, insurance, and routine servicing. Given the low mileage, maintenance should be primarily time-based rather than wear-based, though tyres and brakes will still require periodic replacement.

Examine the tyre tread depth and wear patterns, specifically on the front axle, following the advisories noted in the February 2025 MOT. Check the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which can occur on vehicles with low annual mileage and infrequent heavy braking.

Inspect the exterior blue paintwork for age-related chips or scratches. Ensure all electronic functions within the cabin are operating correctly, as low-use vehicles can occasionally develop battery-related glitches.

This 2017 blue MINI Cooper S has covered just 34,615 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. Its history shows five consecutive MOT passes, with only minor tyre advisories recorded in early 2025. It represents a low-mileage option for the 1998cc petrol engine variant.

No aggregate data is available for this model, but this specific vehicle has a consistent record of passing its MOT tests.
