2018 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · LS17 AAA

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 50,805 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day at 50,804 miles, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative correction rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,351 miles per year. The progression from 37,466 miles in March 2023 to 50,805 miles in September 2025 shows a steady increase in usage without any erratic spikes or prolonged periods of standing. This regularity generally indicates a car that has been driven consistently, which helps maintain battery health and prevents seals from drying out. The absence of any advisories or failures across five tests since March 2023 is unusual for a vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions over the last 13,000 miles. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the brake pads and tyre tread depths, as these consumables are not always detailed in a clean pass. Check for any signs of surface corrosion on the underside, as the MOT record does not explicitly mention structural integrity. Given the lack of historical faults, focus on verifying that the service intervals match the clean MOT record to ensure the engine oil and filters have been changed according to manufacturer specifications.
