Our Verdict
A strong purchase option for those seeking a modern, low-mileage special edition. The vehicle presents with a very clean recent MOT history despite a single recorded failure in early 2026.
When viewing this Green Resolute Edition, verify that the automatic gearbox transitions smoothly through all gears, as this is a key component of the driving experience. Since the vehicle is a 2023 model, ensure that any manufacturer warranty remains valid and check if the required service intervals have been met according to the digital or physical service record.
Negotiate based on the single MOT failure recorded in March 2026. While the failure was resolved within days, it is worth asking the seller for documentation regarding what specific component required attention to ensure it was a minor issue rather than a recurring fault.
With a 1.5L petrol engine, this MINI is positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band typical for its class. Fuel economy for the Cooper range is generally efficient for urban and suburban driving, though real-world figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a MINI of this age are expected to be standard for a premium small car, primarily consisting of routine servicing and consumables like tyres and brake pads. Estimated annual running costs are moderate, reflecting its modern engine and automatic transmission.
The most recent MOT history shows a failure at 23,402 miles in March 2026, followed by a pass on 2026-03-09. Although the specific defect was not detailed in the summary, you should inspect the area of the vehicle most likely to trigger such a failure, such as lighting, wipers, or tyre condition.
Additionally, inspect the interior condition of the Resolute Edition trim to ensure the specific aesthetic features are well-maintained. Check the automatic transmission fluid levels and the condition of the braking system, as these are standard inspection points for a vehicle with over 23,000 miles.
This 2023 MINI Cooper Resolute Edition Auto is a relatively recent registration with 23,513 miles recorded at its last MOT. The vehicle's history shows a single MOT failure in March 2026 at 23,402 miles, which was rectified for a pass five days later. Given its age and mileage, it represents a contemporary example of this specific trim level.
No aggregate MOT data is currently available specifically for the Cooper Resolute Edition Auto to establish a long-term reliability pattern.
