2018 MINI John Cooper Works 2.0L Petrol · WT18 NDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test in December 2025 at 44,072 miles passed, although the tester noted a rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belts. This follows a failure in December 2024 where multiple consumable and visibility issues were identified, suggesting that the owner only addresses defects once they result in a formal MOT failure. At eight years old, the 2018 MINI John Cooper Works reflects low mileage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine but can lead to the degradation of rubber components. The data shows consistent usage patterns between July 2023 (35,456 miles) and July 2024 (39,771 miles), though a rapid accumulation of 1,460 miles occurred between July 2024 and December 2024, which coincided with the vehicle's failure. A buyer should pay close attention to the glass and wiper assembly, as the December 2024 failure highlighted a damaged windscreen and ineffective wipers. The failure regarding the nearside rear tyre cut reaching the cords and the offside rear perishing indicates that the rubber may suffer from age-related degradation despite low tread depth. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection must check for sidewall cracking on tyres and perished suspension bushes, as these components often fail when a vehicle sits for long periods. No structural corrosion or brake binding issues were flagged in the history, which is a positive indicator for the chassis integrity.
