2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · YA68 VML

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improvement over time. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 58,818 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows a clean result from the 2024 test, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the car to a standard that meets regulatory requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,350 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2025, the car covered 30,144 miles, representing a steady usage profile rather than periods of neglect or heavy strain. The gaps between MOT tests are regular, occurring annually in early December, which allows for a reliable monitoring of the vehicle's wear components and ensures the car has not been subject to long-term stationary. A buyer should focus attention on the front suspension and braking system during a physical inspection. The December 2023 test at 37,165 miles flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and on edges, which often indicates an alignment issue or premature wear of suspension bushes. Additionally, the failure in 2022 due to a worn rear brake pad and a nail in the tyre shows basic consumable replacement. While these were resolved, a check for uneven pad wear or sticking calipers is advisable to ensure the braking system remains optimal.
