Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low mileage, your primary focus should be on the service history to ensure the vehicle has been serviced according to time intervals rather than just mileage. Check that the tyre issues noted in the May 2026 MOT (a cut to the nearside front and perishing on the offside front) were resolved, although the subsequent clean pass in August 2026 suggests this is likely the case.
Verify the condition of the brakes; while the front pads were replaced in May 2024, it is worth checking the discs for any surface corrosion that can occur on vehicles with low annual usage. Negotiate based on the remaining tread depth of the tyres if they have not been recently replaced.
The 1499cc petrol engine is designed for a balance of performance and efficiency, meeting Euro 6 DG emissions standards. This ensures it remains compliant with most UK low-emission zones, helping to avoid daily charges in cities like London.
Annual costs will include standard petrol fuel consumption and a moderate insurance group typical for the MINI Cooper range. Maintenance costs are generally predictable for this model, though parts can be more expensive than for budget city cars. The estimated annual running cost covers fuel, road tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the tyres. The MOT record from May 2026 specifically highlighted a cut on the nearside front outer tyre and perishing/cracking on the offside front. Confirm these have been replaced with quality tyres rather than patched.
Inspect the brake system, noting the May 2024 failure where front brake pads were less than 1.5mm thick. Ensure the braking feel is consistent and that there is no shuddering, which would indicate the discs may have needed attention at the time of the pad replacement. Finally, check all rubber seals and wipers for signs of age-related perishing, which can happen even on low-mileage cars.
This grey 2019 MINI Cooper has covered just 20,282 miles, which is significantly below average for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent record of passes, with the only failure occurring in May 2024 due to worn brake pads. It most recently passed a test in August 2026 with no defects recorded.
While aggregate data for this model is not available, this specific vehicle's MOT history indicates a low frequency of mechanical issues.
