Our Verdict
This 2018 MINI Cooper presents a general
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a close inspection of all four tyres. The 2024 and 2025 MOT records specifically noted perishing and cracking, which are common wear items but can be expensive to replace in sets. Ensure the current tyres have sufficient tread depth and are free from the sidewall damage previously recorded.
Furthermore, verify the status of the nearside rear wheel bearing mentioned in the 2025 MOT. Although the vehicle passed its 2026 test without this being flagged, it is worth checking for any audible humming or play in the rear wheels during a test drive. Always request the full service history to see if these MOT advisories were rectified with new parts or if they were left unaddressed.
As a 1.5-litre petrol model, this MINI Cooper typically falls into a moderate insurance group and tax bracket for its class. You should anticipate standard maintenance costs associated with a vehicle of this mileage, particularly regarding suspension components and tyres, which are frequent failure points for the MINI model range.
Based on current market data, the estimated annual running cost, including fuel, insurance, and routine servicing, is approximately £1,600–£1,900. Fuel economy will vary based on driving style, but the 1.5-litre engine is generally efficient for both urban and motorway commuting.
Begin your inspection by checking the condition of the tyres, as the MOT history shows a recurring pattern of perishing rubber. Confirm that the tyres are of a reputable brand and have been replaced rather than just monitored. Given the model's history, also inspect the brake pads and discs for wear, as these are common failure points for MINIs.
Additionally, check the coolant levels and the condition of the cooling system hoses. The 2025 MOT flagged low coolant, so ensure there are no signs of leaks or overheating during your test drive. Finally, listen for any suspension noises or play when driving over uneven road surfaces, as the rear wheel bearing and general suspension bushings are areas to monitor on high-mileage examples.
Registered in March 2018, this blue MINI Cooper has covered 78,481 miles over its eight-year life. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate in its recent MOT history, with the most recent test in June 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects. Previous tests have highlighted minor maintenance items, specifically regarding tyre condition and a rear wheel bearing.
MINI Cooper models generally perform in line with industry averages, though they are frequently flagged for tyre and brake-related MOT issues.
