The F56-generation Mini John Cooper Works marked a significant step forward for the marque’s performance flagship. Introduced in 2015, it combined the traditional Mini formula of compact dimensions and sharp handling with a more powerful turbocharged engine and modern technology. Power was supplied by a 2. 0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine developed by BMW, producing 231PS and delivering strong performance through the front wheels.
Alongside the uprated engine, the John Cooper Works model benefited from a range of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades over the standard Cooper S. These included larger Brembo brakes, revised suspension tuning, unique body styling and a sport-focused interior. The result was a car that retained Mini’s well-known agility while offering performance capable of rivaling many larger hot hatchbacks.
First registered in 2015, this Mini F56 John Cooper Works is finished in Rebel Green, an exclusive paint shade which was designed specifically for the JCW model to offer a darker, more aggressive alternative to the traditional British Racing Green. It's enhanced by a Chilli Red roof, mirror caps, grille bar and brake calipers which sit behind polished JCW Track Spoke alloys finished in black. The Mini has been enjoyed by its current owner and three former keepers and, when photographed, had covered an indicated 48, 428 miles supported by a full service history. Overall, it presents as a well maintained example of the performance-focused, three-door, Mini hatchback.
During current ownership, the car has benefitted from a number of recent improvements. All four wheels have been refurbished this year, with the tyres re-fitted and balanced, a full service in November 2025, the exterior has been professionally detailed and the exterior plastics were restored to improve the overall presentation.
As shown in the accompanying photographs, the car does display a few cosmetic imperfections including a scuff along the passenger side sill and some touch-up work along the lower lip of the front bumper. These minor blemishes are reflected in the overall presentation but do not detract from the car’s usability as an engaging modern hot hatch.
Recent maintenance includes:• Full service carried out in November 2025• All four wheels refurbished with tyres re-fitted and balanced• Professional exterior detail with plastics restored
With modest mileage, full service history and recent cosmetic and maintenance work completed, this John Cooper Works offers an accessible entry into the modern performance Mini range.
