2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · SO68 CXG

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, passing its most recent inspection in June 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of concern in mid-2025. While the 2025 failure identified issues with wipers and tyre artwork, the subsequent pass indicates that these specific faults were addressed promptly by the owner. The recorded mileage of 34,592 miles is significantly low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between May 2023 and May 2024, where the car covered over 7,000 miles in a single year, followed by a more consistent rate of travel since. This low-annual mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it often leads to rubber-based components deteriorating if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the May 2024 test flagged pitting and scoring on both rear brake discs. Although these were not considered serious at the time, the presence of corrosion is common on low-mileage cars. Additionally, the history shows recurring issues with tyre condition, including perishing and cracking noted in 2024 and a structural cut reaching the cords in 2025. The current tyres should be checked for sidewall damage or age-related cracking to ensure they remain safe despite sufficient tread depth.
