Our Verdict
Highly recommended. This is an exceptionally low-mileage, late-model Cooper S that presents as a nearly-new example with a flawless record.
Given the very low mileage and recent 2026 MOT pass, this vehicle is a low-risk purchase. Your primary focus should be ensuring the service history has been maintained according to MINI's intervals, even if the annual mileage was low, to protect any remaining manufacturer warranty.
Negotiate based on the current market value for 'nearly-new' 2.0L petrol MINIs. Ensure you receive all original documentation and keys, as the vehicle's low usage suggests it may have been cherished by a single owner.
The 1998cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency, meeting Euro 6 AP emissions standards which ensures compatibility with all UK Low Emission Zones. Insurance groups for the Cooper S are typically mid-to-high, reflecting its performance nature.
Maintenance costs should remain low in the short term due to the vehicle's age and low mileage. Expected costs will primarily consist of annual servicing, road tax, and premium unleaded fuel.
While the MOT history shows no defects as of May 2026, always inspect the black paintwork for any minor stone chips or swirl marks common on darker finishes. Check the tyre treads; although the mileage is low, tyres can occasionally perish or develop flat spots if the car has sat idle for long periods.
Verify the interior condition to ensure it matches the low 8,877-mile reading. Check for any warning lights on the dashboard and ensure the infotainment system is updated to the latest software version.
This 2023 Black MINI Cooper S is in outstanding condition, having covered only 8,877 miles in just over three years. The vehicle has a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across its most recent tests. Given its age and minimal usage, it represents a high-value proposition for a buyer seeking a modern, high-performance hatchback.
The Cooper S is generally regarded as a spirited and reliable performer, though specific aggregate data for this exact year is not provided.
