Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a buyer looki
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify that the offside front seat belt mentioned in the March 2025 MOT failure has been replaced with a new, undamaged unit. It is worth asking the seller for documentation confirming this repair was completed to satisfy the MOT requirement.
Beyond the seat belt issue, check the service history to ensure the 1998cc petrol engine has received regular oil changes, which is vital for turbocharged MINI engines. Given the vehicle's age, confirm that all software updates for the infotainment system have been carried out and that the tyres have sufficient tread depth, as the Cooper S is a performance-oriented model.
As a 2.0L petrol vehicle, running costs will be moderate. You should expect fuel economy to be reasonable for a hot hatch, though driving style will heavily influence real-world MPG. The Euro 6 status ensures it remains compliant with most UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).
Insurance groups for the Cooper S can vary depending on the driver's profile, so obtain a quote specifically for this registration. Maintenance costs will typically involve standard servicing, but keep in mind that performance components like brakes and tyres may wear faster than on a standard Cooper.
The primary item to inspect is the offside front seat belt webbing. The MOT history explicitly noted a cut greater than 4mm in March 2025; ensure this has been professionally rectified and that the webbing is smooth and intact.
As with any MINI of this era, check for any signs of minor fluid leaks around the engine bay and inspect the condition of the suspension components. While no mechanical defects were noted in the recent MOTs, a physical check of the brake pads and discs is advised given the car's sporty nature.
Registered in March 2020, this grey 1.9L petrol MINI Cooper S has covered 28,278 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The MOT history shows a single failure in March 2025 due to a damaged seat belt, but the vehicle has passed its two most recent inspections with no defects recorded. The mileage appears consistent with its age and usage patterns.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific MINI Cooper S model variant.
