2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · LJ18 WDC

This vehicle maintains a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 20 March 2025 at 29,692 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests over several years, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2018 model, averaging roughly 3,712 miles per year. Between February 2023 and March 2025, the odometer increased by 6,362 miles, showing a steady and light usage pattern. A minor anomaly appears on 23 February 2023, where the car failed and passed on the same day within seven miles. The lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests a clerical error or a trivial issue resolved instantly. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories, there are no recurring mechanical trends to flag. The record shows no history of suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. This lack of documented faults suggests a diligent ownership history where maintenance likely occurred before components reached a failure point. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the risks associated with low-mileage vehicles. Long periods of inactivity can lead to perished tyre rubber or seized brake calipers, even if the tread depth remains legal. Checking the date codes on the tyres and ensuring the brakes do not bind during a test drive is advisable. The absence of structural corrosion in the records is positive, but a visual check of the underbody remains standard practice for a car of this age.
