2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · KP68 VWS

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean mechanical record, with the most recent MOT conducted on 13 September 2025 at 31,571 miles resulting in a clear pass with no defects or advisories. This consistent performance across the last five years indicates a stable and well-maintained condition. The absence of any recorded failures or minor advisories suggests that the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance and addressed potential issues before they reached the point of test failure. The recorded mileage of 31,571 over an eight-year lifespan averages approximately 3,946 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this type. The progression of mileage is steady and linear, showing no evidence of long-term storage or periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The data confirms the vehicle has been used consistently rather than being left to sit, which is a positive indicator for the overall health of the drivetrain and electrical systems. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically degrade with age rather than mileage, such as suspension bushes, shock absorber seals, and coolant hoses. While the MOT history is spotless, the low annual usage means the brake discs and pads may be prone to surface corrosion or uneven wear if the car has been driven infrequently in damp conditions. Check the inner edges of the tyres for signs of uneven wear patterns or sidewall cracking, as these are common on low-mileage vehicles that have spent significant time parked. Given the lack of any flagged structural or mechanical concerns in the official record, the car appears to be a sound example, provided the service history confirms regular oil and filter changes to support the low-mileage usage.
