Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a diesel
Focus your attention on the service history for the 1995cc diesel engine, ensuring that oil and filter changes have been performed at the recommended intervals. Given the recurring tyre issues noted in the MOT history, check the current tread depth and sidewall condition of all four tyres before purchase.
Negotiate based on the most recent MOT advisory from March 2026, which identified a nail in the nearside rear tyre. Verify if this has been professionally repaired or if the tyre requires replacement.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for better fuel efficiency over longer distances compared to petrol alternatives. Insurance costs will vary by group, but diesel MINIs typically fall into a moderate bracket.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally standard for a premium hatchback, though diesel-specific components like the DPF may require attention if the car has been used exclusively for short urban trips. Annual costs including fuel, tax, and routine servicing are estimated to be moderate.
Conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres, specifically looking for the 'cracking or perishing' mentioned in the 2023 and 2024 MOT records. Ensure the nearside rear tyre has been addressed following the nail advisory in March 2026.
Additionally, check the headlamps and windscreen wipers, as aggregate data for nearly 99,000 of these vehicles identifies these as top failure points. Test all electrical components and ensure the diesel engine starts cleanly without excessive smoke.
This 2015 white MINI Cooper S Diesel has recorded 83,966 miles, placing it slightly above the model average of 6,395 miles per year. The MOT history from 2022 to 2026 shows five consecutive passes. While no major failures are listed, there are repeated notes regarding tyre wear and damage over the last four years.
This model maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 88%, with most failures attributed to consumables such as tyres, headlamps, and wipers.
