2018 MINI Cooper MOT history

Type the registration of any UK MINI Cooper hatchback and we'll display every annual MOT test the DVSA holds. That includes the pass/fail outcome, the recorded mileage at each test, every advisory note (so you can see what the tester flagged for the next visit) and the failure reasons in detail when an attempt didn't pass. The MOT history is the strongest mileage paper-trail in the UK and the cheapest piece of due diligence available before any used-car purchase.

A 2018 MINI Cooper is around 8 years old. UK first-time MOT fail rates at this age sit in the 35% range. The most common reasons across the segment are brakes, suspension components, lighting and corrosion — read the historic advisory notes to see whether the previous keeper let any of these slide.

Fully-electric Coopers skip the engine emissions and oil-leak items, but the MOT still checks brakes, suspension, steering, lights and tyres. EVs typically run softer brake usage thanks to regen, so brake wear advisories tend to come up later in life — but tyre wear arrives sooner because of higher kerb weight and instant torque. Check both in the historic record.
