Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a moder
When inspecting this specific 1.5L petrol Cooper, focus on the consumables that have appeared in the MOT history. Given the 2025 advisory for cracking or perishing rear tyres and the 2024 advisory for thin brake pads, ask the seller for receipts to confirm these components were replaced following those tests.
Check the condition of the tyres across the whole vehicle, not just the rears, and ensure the brake discs show no signs of excessive scoring. As this is a 2020 model, also verify that the service intervals have been met, as the MOT record only tracks safety compliance and not mechanical maintenance.
The 1499cc petrol engine is generally efficient for its class, though actual fuel economy will depend on driving style. Being a Euro 6 vehicle, it avoids most daily charges in Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) or Clean Air Zones (CAZ).
Maintenance costs for MINIs can be higher than average due to specialist parts requirements. Expect typical running costs to include moderate insurance groups and standard servicing. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £1,100-£1,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Based on the MOT history, pay close attention to the tyres. The 2025 test noted both nearside and offside rear tyres were cracking or perishing; ensure the current set is relatively new and has sufficient tread depth.
Additionally, inspect the braking system. The 2024 MOT highlighted thin brake pads on the front and nearside rear. Check for any unusual noises when braking or any pulling to one side, which could indicate issues with calipers or discs that were not addressed after the previous advisories.
This 2020 silver MINI Cooper (LD70SXM) has covered 34,154 miles since its first registration in October 2020, which is slightly above the model average of 6,214 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of consumable wear, specifically regarding brake pads in 2024 and tyres in 2025, but the most recent test in August 2026 recorded no defects. The vehicle's Euro 6 status ensures compliance with many modern low-emission zones.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.7% MOT pass rate, with common issues frequently involving tyres, washer jets, and brake pads.
