Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent tyre-
When inspecting this specific black 1.5L petrol MINI, your primary focus should be on the condition of the tyres and wheels. The April 2025 MOT failure highlighted issues with bulging, cracking, and wear across multiple tyres, as well as a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) fault. Ensure all four tyres are of a reputable brand and show no signs of sidewall damage or uneven wear.
Ask the seller for evidence that the TPMS issues identified in 2025 were fully rectified. You should also check the condition of the windscreen wipers and washer jets, as these were identified as common failure points for this model aggregate. Given the higher-than-average mileage, verify that the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, even though the MOT history does not explicitly confirm service records.
As a 1.5L petrol Euro 6 vehicle, this MINI Cooper is expected to sit in a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for this engine variant is typically efficient for a small hatchback, though actual figures will depend on driving style and the high mileage recorded.
Maintenance costs for MINIs can be higher than budget brands, particularly regarding specialist parts. Expect regular costs for consumables like tyres and brake pads, which are noted as top failure reasons for this model type. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are approximately £1,400-£1,700.
Directly address the findings from the April 2025 MOT failure: inspect the nearside front tyre for any structural bulges and check all four tyres for cracking or perishing. It is vital to ensure the TPMS light is no longer illuminated and that the system is functioning correctly.
Additionally, check the windscreen wipers and the washer jet spray pattern, as these were recorded defects. Given the model's aggregate data, you should also perform a thorough check of the brake pad thickness and the condition of the brake discs to ensure they are within acceptable limits.
This 2022 MINI Cooper (WR22DVM) has covered 47,693 miles since its first registration in April 2022. The MOT history shows a significant failure in April 2025 involving multiple tyre defects and a TPMS light, though the subsequent test in December 2025 recorded no defects. The vehicle's mileage is notably higher than the model average of 6,214 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to tyres, washer jets, and brake pads.
