2018 Mini Cooper 1.5L Heavy oil · MR55 NLA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 31 January 2026 at 71,195 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak of perfect records suggests that the previous owners proactively addressed the mechanical and safety components, preventing the common failures often seen in MINI vehicles of this age. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 30,971 miles and November 2024 at 62,827 miles, the car covered roughly 32,000 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The recent interval of 8,368 miles between the November 2024 and January 2026 tests further reinforces this trend, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme or sudden high-mileage stress. While the digital record shows no structural or mechanical failures, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on common MINI wear points at this mileage bracket. Given the 71,000-mile mark, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or fatigue, as these often degrade despite clean records. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or pitting, as the MOT only checks for functional failure rather than component thickness. The lack of recorded advisories for corrosion suggests the chassis is likely free of significant rust, but a visual check of the underbody remains standard professional practice.
