Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Focus your attention on the tyres. The MOT history from 2023 to 2026 shows repeated advisories and one failure related to tyre cracking, perishing, and wear. You should negotiate the replacement of the nearside front tyre, which was flagged as slightly damaged in the June 2026 test.
Verify the service history to ensure the 1998cc engine has had regular oil changes, as this is critical for the longevity of the Cooper S powertrain. Check for any evidence of recent headlamp adjustment, as the vehicle failed on headlamp aim in 2025.
As a 2.0L petrol model, this Cooper S will have higher fuel and insurance costs than the standard Cooper. It falls into a mid-to-high insurance group for its class, and fuel economy will be typical for a performance-oriented small hatchback.
Annual maintenance will primarily involve consumables, though the MOT history suggests a higher-than-average turnover of tyres. Expected annual running costs, including tax, insurance, fuel, and routine servicing, are estimated between £1,200 and £1,600.
Perform a thorough visual inspection of all four tyres. Specifically, check the nearside front for the damage noted in the 2026 MOT and look for signs of 'perishing' or sidewall cracking, which were recorded as advisories in 2023 and 2024.
Check the headlamp alignment to ensure the 2025 failure has been permanently rectified. Additionally, inspect the windscreen wipers, as these are noted as a top failure reason for this model in aggregate data, even though they have not caused a failure for this specific vehicle.
This 2014 white MINI Cooper S has covered 60,459 miles, which is below the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history reveals a pattern of tyre-related issues, including a failure in June 2025 due to a nail in a tyre and a cut reaching the ply. While it has passed its most recent test, it carries an advisory for a slightly damaged nearside front tyre.
This model has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 88%, with the most common failures being tyres, headlamps, and windscreen wipers.
