2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · X13 TAW

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes over its lifetime. The most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 27,244 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a remarkably stable maintenance trend where the vehicle consistently meets the minimum safety requirements without recurring mechanical failures. There is no evidence of structural degradation or persistent component issues across the last five inspection cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 9,755 miles and the 2025 test at 27,244 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 4,300 miles annually, showing a consistent but light usage. This pattern suggests the car was likely used for short trips or kept for long periods. However, low mileage can sometimes lead to accelerated age-related wear of rubber components and brake systems if the vehicle is not regularly driven to prevent seizing. While the MOT record shows no flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage operation. A buyer should check for dry rot on the tyres and signs of brake caliper seizing or corrosion, which often occur when vehicles sit stationary. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the number of miles driven. Given the clean electronic history, the vehicle appears well-cared for, but verifying the fluid levels and the condition of belts is essential to ensure the low usage has not masked underlying neglect.
