2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · LH67 CWP

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improvement following past failures. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 43,057 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the owner has addressed previously identified issues. This follows a period of clean results in late 2024 and 2023, suggesting the vehicle is currently well-maintained and meeting regulatory standards. The mileage profile is low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. There is a noticeable spike in usage between January 2023 (21,028 miles) and December 2024 (29,984 miles), where the car covered nearly 9,000 miles in under eleven months. Prior to this, the usage was significantly lower, often covering only 4,000 miles miles in annual intervals. The current total mileage of 43,057 miles suggests the mechanical components and drivetrain likely have a significant service life remaining. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the January 2024 failure noted a nearside front outer tyre worn to the legal limit and damaged on the sidewall. This pattern often indicates incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes rather than simple uneven wear. While the headlamp aim and wiper blade were rectified in previous tests, a physical check of the wiper assembly and headlight adjustment bolts remains advisable to ensure these repairs were thorough. Given the low annual mileage, one should also check for brake disc corrosion or seized calipers, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
