2018 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · MM06 ANS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent inspection in September 2025 at 73,759 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems were functioning within DVSA tolerances at that time. This follows several clean tests, suggesting that the car has been maintained without major recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between November 2021 at 30,688 miles and December 2022 at 44,324 miles, where the car covered roughly 13,000 miles. Since then, the usage has steadied to around 15,000 miles annually. This regularity indicates consistent driving cycles which is generally beneficial for preventing seal issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay specific attention to the advisory noted during the December 2022 test at 44,324 miles, where both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear. This specific fault often indicates an alignment issue or worn front suspension bushes. While the subsequent tests passed without comment, a physical inspection should verify the current condition of the front control arms and ball joints to ensure uneven tyre wear has not returned. Given the age and mileage, a check of the brake pipe corrosion and the structural integrity of the exhaust mounting remains standard practice for this model.
