2018 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · RF18 ABU

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent 2025 test at 10,953 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results from 2024 (8,462 miles), 2023 (7,349 miles), 2022 (5,691 miles), and 2021 (4,088 miles). No recurring mechanical or structural faults were recorded across this eight-year span, indicating consistent maintenance and minimal wear. The mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with annual increases of approximately 1,500–1,700 miles. The 2021 test at 4,088 miles marked the earliest recorded data, followed by steady growth to 10,953 miles by 2025. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged inactivity. However, the low total mileage for an eight-year-old vehicle warrants scrutiny, as it may indicate infrequent operation or storage, potentially affecting components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. A physical inspection should prioritise suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, for signs of age-related fatigue or corrosion. The exhaust system and brake calipers should also be checked for residual moisture damage, as low mileage can lead to uneven wear. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s usage pattern implies a need for thorough scrutiny of static components that may not have been regularly stressed.
