2018 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · LP68 TXB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in February 2026 at 75,559 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This clean result follows three consecutive years of flawless passes, indicating that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting all DVSA safety standards without recurring failures in the testing environment. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,445 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between December 2022 and February 2024, where the car covered only 6,342 miles. Since the February 2024 test, usage has increased significantly, with 24,760 miles clocked in just two years prior to the 2026 inspection. This recent surge in mileage suggests the car is now being used regularly, which often helps prevent engine carbon and seizing components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the only recorded fault involved the offside front brake pads reaching the limit during the December 2021 test at 31,345 miles. While subsequent tests show no issues, the increased mileage in the last two years means the current pads and discs should be measured for remaining life. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advisable, as these components often begin to perish around the 75,000-mile mark without requiring an immediate MOT failure.
