2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · LF18 AEB

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy. The most recent MOT test on 29 September 2025 at 83,643 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2022, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. Between the 28 September 2022 test at 59,689 miles and the final entry in September 2025, the car covered 23,954 miles. This averages to roughly 8,000 miles per year over the last three years, which is slightly below the overall lifetime average of 10,455 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history to suggest periods of neglect or hidden usage. The absence of any advisories across five consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The tester flagged no issues regarding brake disc wear, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or failing coil springs, which often plague MINIs as they approach the 80,000-mile mark. A physical inspection should focus on consumables that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the clean record suggests these have been replaced proactively. Verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine maintenance matches the clean MOT record.
