2018 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · M21 RCE

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness record, having passed five consecutive annual MOT tests without a single recorded defect or advisory. This consistent performance indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and suggests the vehicle has been kept in a reliable mechanical state throughout its tenure. With the most recent test occurring on 15 September 2025 at 50,568 miles, the car remains well within its current certification period, reflecting a stable and healthy operational history. The recorded mileage of 50,568 over an eight-year lifespan averages approximately 6,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The data shows a period of lower accumulation between 2021 and 2022, where the odometer increased by only 2,485 miles, followed by a more consistent usage pattern in subsequent years. This steady progression suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended durations, which helps mitigate the risks of seized components or degraded seals often associated with long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of consumable items not always captured by the MOT process, specifically the state of the clutch, brake pad thickness, and tyre sidewall integrity. While the MOT history is flawless, the MINI Cooper S platform is known for potential wear in suspension bushes and engine mountings that may not trigger a failure until they reach an advanced state of degradation. Verify the service history for evidence of oil changes and spark plug replacements, as the MOT only confirms compliance with minimum safety standards rather than the health of the engine or transmission internals.
