2018 MINI ONE 1.5L Petrol · WO18 SYZ

The 2018 MINI One presents a stable and generally well-maintained roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 13 June 2026 at 59,410 miles. The maintenance trend is largely consistent, with no major mechanical failures or dangerous defects recorded across the entire history. The vehicle has passed every test, though a recurring advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre has persisted across four consecutive annual tests since 2023. This pattern suggests the underlying cause, likely a perishing sidewall or slow puncture from a minor impact, has not been permanently rectified, with each year's test flagging the replacement tyre as similarly degrading. The 2023 test also flagged worn rear brake discs and thin rear brake pads, which were subsequently addressed, as these items did not reappear in later records. The mileage progression is steady and entirely typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. From the first recorded test on 14 June 2022 at 30,259 miles through to 13 June 2026 at 59,410 miles, the car has covered 29,151 miles over four years, averaging approximately 7,288 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation, and the annual intervals between tests are consistent, indicating regular use without prolonged standing periods that could cause flat-spotted tyres or seized brakes. A buyer inspecting this MINI One in person should pay particular attention to the nearside rear wheel area. The repeated advisory for a slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing tyre on that corner across four successive tests raises a question about the condition of the wheel rim itself, which may have a minor buckle or lip damage causing accelerated sidewall deterioration. The rear brake components, which were flagged as worn in 2023, should be visually checked for even pad thickness and disc condition, as the car's mileage suggests these consumables may be approaching their next replacement interval. Beyond these specific advisories, a thorough inspection of the suspension bushes and exhaust system for corrosion is sensible given the vehicle's age and mileage, even though the MOT record shows no structural defects.
