Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this vehicle, request the full service history to ensure the 2.0L engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Specifically, verify if the front brake pads, which were noted as wearing thin in the April 2024 MOT, were replaced following that inspection.
Given the 2021 registration, check for any remaining manufacturer warranty or extended cover. Ensure all electronic features of the infotainment system are functioning correctly, as these are key value drivers for this specific model.
Equipped with a 2.0L petrol engine and Euro 6 AP status, this vehicle is ULEZ compliant, avoiding daily charges in low-emission zones. Fuel economy for the Cooper S variant is typically moderate, reflecting its performance-oriented tuning.
Annual costs will include road tax and insurance, with the Cooper S generally sitting in a mid-to-high insurance group. Maintenance costs for MINI models are usually moderate, though premium parts can increase the cost of routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the braking system; while the 2026 MOT was clean, the 2024 record specifically highlighted that the front inner brake pads were wearing thin. Verify the current depth of the pads and the condition of the discs to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life again.
Additionally, check the tyres for uneven wear and inspect the grey paintwork for any stone chips or scuffs. As the vehicle has now passed the 50,000-mile mark, check for any signs of suspension wear or interior cabin rattles.
This grey 2021 MINI Cooper S features a 1998cc petrol engine and is Euro 6 AP compliant. It has a consistent MOT history with three tests recorded, including two passes with no defects. The most recent test in January 2026 was completed at 51,593 miles without any recorded issues.
Specific aggregate reliability data is unavailable for this model, but this individual vehicle has a clean MOT record with no failures.
