Insight summary

MINI Cooper S Sport Auto is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 11,310 represented vehicles and 0.03% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 92.2% from 516 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 50. The current pool shows an average of 31,066 miles and an average age of 2.8 years. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by other, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, windscreen damage and registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements. The practical read is that the MINI Cooper S Sport Auto looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
