2014 MINI Roadster 1.6L Petrol · BW14 AFA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 28 June 2025 shows a pass at 50 242 mi, yet a simultaneous fail entry is recorded for the same date and mileage with no defects noted. This dual outcome indicates an administrative inconsistency rather than a mechanical deterioration, and the overall roadworthiness status remains stable. The pattern repeats in 2024 and 2023, where each test date carries both a pass and a fail without any recorded faults, suggesting the car has not developed new structural or mechanical issues during the period. Mileage progression reflects a low‑use profile for a 2014 model. Between 15 May 2023 (31 504 mi) and 7 June 2024 (43 198 mi) the odometer advanced 11 694 mi in roughly ten and a half months, then to 50 242 mi by 28 June 2025 – an increase of 7 044 mi over about fourteen and a half months. The slowing rate of mileage gain points to lighter utilisation or periods of storage, which is typical for a vehicle that has accumulated only around 4 200 mi per year. The MOT record is sparse, with only three test dates and no detailed defect logs. A buyer should inspect the car in person for signs of age‑related wear that mileage alone does not reveal. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or hardening, check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, and assess the exhaust system for rust perforations. Visual inspection of the underbody and wheel arches for structural corrosion is essential, as low mileage does not guarantee protection against rust in a twelve‑year‑old chassis. Tyre tread depth and uniformity should be verified, as uneven wear can indicate alignment or suspension issues. Finally, review any available service documentation to confirm that routine oil changes and fluid replacements have been performed, ensuring the mechanical condition matches the low‑mileage narrative.
