Our Verdict
A solid purchase option with a consisten
When viewing this 1.5L petrol MINI, check the service history to see how the 64,214 miles have been maintained, particularly regarding oil changes which are vital for these turbocharged engines. Given the recent MOT failure for an offside rear tyre wearing on the edges, you should inspect the suspension components and wheel alignment to ensure the issue wasn't caused by tracking problems.
Negotiate based on the immediate need for tyre replacement if the current ones are near the legal limit. Ask the seller for evidence of any recent wheel alignment or suspension work that may have addressed the edge-wearing noted in the 2026 MOT.
The 1499cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it relatively affordable for a premium hatchback. Fuel economy for this Cooper model is typically efficient for mixed driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style and maintenance.
Maintenance costs for MINIs can be higher than standard economy hatchbacks due to parts pricing. Expect typical servicing costs to include brake pads and tyres, which were specifically highlighted in the latest MOT record.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and suspension. The 2026 MOT record specifically noted an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and wearing on the edges; this can sometimes indicate camber issues or worn bushings. Check all four tyres for similar uneven wear patterns.
Additionally, because the car has crossed the 60,000-mile mark, inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as any signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay. Ensure the white paintwork is free from significant stone chips, which are common on lower-slung cars like this MINI.
This 2017 white MINI Cooper (WR17UDY) has covered 64,214 miles since its first registration in May 2017. The MOT history shows a period of four consecutive tests with no defects recorded between 2022 and 2025. The most recent test in May 2026 recorded a minor failure regarding tyre wear, but otherwise shows a steady progression of mileage.
