2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · RF18 ADO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 12 May 2025 at 24,376 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 3,047 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2022 test at 13,755 miles and the May 2025 test at 24,376 miles shows a steady, low-intensity usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. The lack of advisories across multiple years is unusual and suggests a high standard of preventative care. However, the low annual mileage increases the risk of components degrading due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber seals, flat spots on the tyres, and potential brake disc corrosion or binding calipers caused by long periods of standing. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 9 May 2024 at 21,361 miles. While the specific defect is not listed, the immediate resolution suggests a minor issue was rectified on site. Given the absence of structural corrosion or suspension failures in the history, a physical inspection should focus on fluid levels and battery health to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from under-use.
