Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a lower
When inspecting this specific 1.5L petrol model, check the condition of the tyres, as the 2024 MOT highlighted uneven wear on the nearside front tyre. This can sometimes suggest alignment issues or suspension wear. Ensure the windscreen wipers and washer jets are fully functional, as these have appeared as advisories or defects in the past.
Ask the seller for evidence of regular servicing to complement the MOT records. Since the 2023 MOT noted thin brake pads, confirm if the braking system has been fully overhauled since that time. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of age-related deterioration in rubber components or seals that might not be captured by an MOT test alone.
The 1499cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it manageable for many drivers. Fuel economy for this Cooper model is typically efficient for a small hatchback, though real-world figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs for MINIs can be higher than average for the small car segment due to parts pricing. You should budget for regular consumables like tyres and brake pads, which have appeared in this vehicle's history. An estimated annual running cost of £1,100-£1,400 should cover fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the 2024 MOT recorded a cut in the nearside rear tyre wall and uneven wear on the nearside front. Inspect the tread depth and look for any signs of bulging or unevenness that could indicate alignment problems.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The 2023 MOT noted thin rear brake pads, so verify that the pads and discs are in good condition. Additionally, test the windscreen wipers and washer jets, as the 2023 record showed a defective wiper blade, and washer jets are a common failure point for this model aggregate.
This 2017 green MINI Cooper has covered 44,508 miles, which is relatively low for a nine-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows a consistent pass record, with the most recent tests in 2025 and 2026 recording no defects. While there were minor issues with tyres and brake pads in earlier years, the vehicle has maintained a regular testing schedule.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.7% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, washer jets, and brake pads.
