Our Verdict
Proceed with caution regarding maintenance consistency, but the vehicle shows a relatively clean recent history. It is a viable option for those comfortable with higher-than-average mileage for its age.
When inspecting this specific MINI, pay close attention to the tyre condition. The 2024 MOT record noted both nearside tyres were worn on the edges, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues. Ensure the current tyres have even tread across the width and that the steering feels straight.
Given the 2024 failure for worn rear brake pads, ask for evidence of recent brake servicing. Because this 1.5L petrol model has covered nearly 50,000 miles in five years, you should verify if the major service intervals required by MINI have been met, as MOT records do not confirm if routine oil and filter changes occurred.
As a 1499cc petrol engine, this Cooper falls into a moderate insurance group and tax band typical for its class. Fuel economy for this Euro 6 engine is generally efficient for urban and motorway driving.
Maintenance costs for MINIs can be higher than standard hatchbacks due to specialist parts. You should budget for regular consumables like tyres and brake pads, which have appeared as issues in this vehicle's MOT history. Estimated annual running costs sit in the mid-range for a premium small car.
Start by checking the tyres thoroughly; the 2024 MOT failure for 'tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge' suggests you should look for uneven wear patterns that might indicate suspension or tracking problems.
Check the brake components, specifically the rear pads, as the 2024 failure noted they were worn down to the indicator. Additionally, inspect the windscreen for any chips or cracks, as the 2026 MOT recorded damage to the glass, even if it was not deemed an immediate failure.
This 2021 silver MINI Cooper has covered 48,904 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. While it has a relatively recent clean pass, the history shows a failure in early 2024 involving tyres and brake pads. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,236 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.5% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, headlamps, and brake pads.
