Our Verdict
This MINI Cooper is a solid option for t
When viewing this 1.5L petrol MINI, verify that the brake disc issues noted in the January 2026 MOT (rear discs worn, pitted, or scored) have been addressed. You should also check the condition of the tyres, specifically the nearside front which was flagged as slightly damaged in the most recent test.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent brake work and tyre replacements to ensure the vehicle meets the standards required for its next MOT. Given the vehicle has been on the road for nearly nine years, check the service history for oil changes, as the MOT records do not confirm maintenance intervals.
The 1499cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it accessible for many drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically efficient for a premium hatchback, though real-world figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs for MINIs can be higher than for standard economy brands, particularly for braking components and tyres, which have appeared in the recent MOT history. Expect annual running costs to be influenced by these wear-and-tear items and standard servicing requirements.
Focus your inspection on the braking system; the 2026 MOT record specifically highlighted that the rear brake discs were pitted or scored. Ensure these have been replaced or refurbished rather than just cleaned.
Additionally, inspect the tyres for uneven wear or sidewall damage, referencing the near-side front tyre issue recorded in January 2026. Finally, check the general underside of the vehicle for any signs of leaks, as the 2024 and 2025 records were clear, but the 2026 test indicates the vehicle is entering a phase where wear-and-tear items require more frequent attention.
This 2017 silver MINI Cooper has covered 46,304 miles since its first registration in November 2017. The MOT history shows a period of clean records between 2022 and 2024, followed by a 2026 test that identified minor wear items. The mileage is consistent with typical usage for a petrol-engined hatchback of this age.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific MINI Cooper model to provide a comparative benchmark.
