2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · ML11 DAY

The 2018 MINI COOPER demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-12-08 at 72,881 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The prior three tests from 2024-11-27 to 2023-02-09 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single failure on 2023-11-30 at 56,160 miles was noted as a pass with no defects, suggesting a procedural or technical anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. Overall, the vehicle shows no signs of deteriorating safety or compliance. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 9,110 miles annually over eight years. A notable gap between 2023-02-09 (53,990 miles) and 2023-11-30 (56,160 miles) reflects 8 months of minimal use, while the subsequent 14,324-mile increase to 72,881 miles by 2025-12-08 indicates a sharp rise in annual usage. This acceleration may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were flagged in the latest test. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, implying the vehicle has been well-maintained within its operational parameters. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, given the mileage increase, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear. The exhaust system and emissions compliance should also be checked, as higher mileage can impact these areas. While no structural corrosion or critical faults are documented, a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden damage or unresolved issues from the 2023-11-30 test.
