2018 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · YL68 AAJ

The 2026‑06‑12 MOT at 32,491 miles resulted in a pass, with only minor defects recorded: an off‑side front tyre showing slight damage or perishing and wear on the front lower suspension arm pins or bushes that did not cause excessive movement. No major mechanical failures were noted, indicating a stable maintenance trend with only routine wear items requiring attention. The mileage trajectory reflects a low annual average of roughly 4,060 miles, suggesting the car has been driven lightly or stood for extended periods. Mileage increased more rapidly between 2022 and 2024, rising from 15,409 miles to 22,953 miles, and again from 2025 to 2026, indicating periods of heavier use despite the overall low yearly average. A buyer should therefore prioritize inspection of the front lower suspension arm pins and bushes, which have been flagged as worn in the two most recent tests, and examine the condition of the off‑side front tyre for perishing or cracking. Particular attention should also be given to the near‑side front and rear road wheels for distortion, the underside and sills for structural rust, and the brake system for any binding calipers or worn discs, as previous records show recurring wheel and tyre issues. Overall the vehicle appears mechanically sound but the recurring suspension wear and tyre deterioration suggest that previous owners may have deferred routine suspension servicing and tyre replacement, so a thorough in‑person assessment of those components, together with a check for structural corrosion and brake functionality, is essential before purchase.
