Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of a 2019 MINI Coo
When viewing this MINI, check the condition of the tyres carefully. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of sidewall damage to the nearside front tyre across multiple years (2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025). Ensure that the current set of tyres is not just legally compliant but free from the types of cuts and sidewall damage noted in previous inspections.
As this is a 1.5L petrol model, verify that the service history includes regular oil changes to maintain the turbocharger. While the MOT records do not show mechanical failures, you should ask for evidence of scheduled maintenance to complement the relatively low mileage of 26,966 miles.
The 1499cc petrol engine is generally efficient for a small hatchback, typically falling into a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for this model is usually quite competitive for urban and motorway driving.
Maintenance costs for a MINI tend to be higher than for standard economy hatchbacks, particularly regarding specialised parts and labour. Expect typical running costs to include regular servicing, tyre replacements (given the history of sidewall damage), and standard consumables like brake pads and discs.
Focus your inspection on the tyres, specifically the nearside front. The MOT history for YC19DLO indicates a persistent issue with sidewall cuts and damage on this specific corner over several years. Check that any replacements are high-quality and that there is no evidence of improper fitment or kerbing.
Beyond the tyres, inspect the silver paintwork for any signs of stone chips or scratches, and check the interior for wear, as the mileage is low but the vehicle is several years old. Since no mechanical defects were recorded in the 2026 MOT, a standard check of fluids and belts is sufficient, but always cross-reference with the service book.
This silver 2019 MINI Cooper has covered 26,966 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026, which is relatively low for a seven-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor tyre-related advisories and defects, but no major mechanical failures have been recorded. The vehicle has consistently passed its tests since its first recorded MOT in 2022.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific MINI Cooper model to provide a statistical comparison.
