2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · JL07 BOO

The 2018 MINI Cooper shows a roadworthy status supported by the most recent DVSA test on 19 June 2025 at 41,696 miles, where the examiner issued a pass with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend remains stable across the sequence of certificates. On 1 March 2023 the vehicle first failed then passed on the same day at 31,502 miles, each entry listing no defects, a pattern suggesting an administrative anomaly rather than mechanical fault. Subsequent tests on 29 February 2024 at 38,595 miles, 30 January 2025 at 41,641 miles, and June 2025 all returned clean passes. Odometer data reveals light use for an eight-year-old car. The record opens at 31,502 miles in March 2023. By February 2024 the reading climbed to 38,595 miles, then to 41,641 miles in January 2025, and 41,696 miles by June 2025. This traces to roughly 5,200 miles per year, well below average. The interval between January and June 2025 added only 55 miles, indicating the car sat largely unused for months. No excessive gaps beyond standard annual testing appear, and the sparse history carries no advisories on consumables or structures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on components vulnerable to low-mileage standing. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion issues in the records, yet inactive periods can hide surface rust on brake discs and hardened suspension bushes. The buyer must verify tyre condition for sidewall perishing and check exhaust emissions under cold start. The duplicate 2023 fail/pass with zero defects warrants a DVSA clarification, but the overall evidence implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current rather than neglecting consumables.
