Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a higher-mileage MINI Cooper with a recent clean MOT record. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average, the lack of recent defects is a positive indicator.
When inspecting this 1.5L petrol Cooper, focus on the service history to ensure the higher-than-average mileage has been met with regular oil changes, which is vital for these turbocharged engines. Because the mileage is nearing the six-figure mark, check for any signs of suspension wear or gearbox smoothness.
Negotiate based on the mileage; since this car has covered roughly 13,790 miles per year compared to the 6,228 model average, it has been used extensively. Ask the seller for proof of recent brake and tyre replacements, as these are the most common failure points for this model type.
Running this 1499cc petrol engine should be relatively efficient for a premium hatchback. Expect moderate fuel economy suitable for mixed driving, though costs will depend heavily on individual driving style.
Maintenance costs for a MINI can be higher than standard economy brands, particularly for parts and specialist labour. You should budget for more frequent consumable replacements like tyres and brakes, which are the leading causes of MOT failures across the wider MINI Cooper dataset.
Pay close attention to the tyres and braking components (pads and discs). While the 2025 MOT showed no defects, the aggregate data for this model identifies these as the most frequent reasons for failure, and they are essential wear items at 96,530 miles.
Additionally, inspect the underside for any signs of oil leaks or excessive corrosion. Given the vehicle has undergone multiple MOT tests with recorded failures in previous years (2023 and 2024), ensure that any issues identified during those tests were fully rectified and not just passed through via minor repairs.
This 2017 black MINI Cooper (NA67NKG) has covered 96,530 miles since its first registration in December 2017. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing after initial failures in 2023 and 2024, but the most recent test in July 2025 recorded no defects. Given the model's average annual mileage is 6,228, this specific vehicle has been driven considerably more than the typical example.
The MINI Cooper model shows an average MOT pass rate of 87.6% across the dataset, with tyres and brakes being the most common failure points.
