2014 MINI Cooper 1.6L Petrol · E11 CCB

The 2025‑12‑19 MOT at 18,545 miles confirms the 2014 MINI COOPER remains roadworthy, with only advisory items recorded. The test shows rear brake discs worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, and front and rear sub‑frames exhibiting corrosion that is present but not seriously weakened; no serious structural or mechanical failures were noted. The recurring brake wear and corrosion suggest a stable but neglect‑prone maintenance pattern. The vehicle’s mileage of 18,545 at 12 years equates to roughly 1,545 miles per year, a figure lower than typical for its age and indicating periods of limited use. Mileage jumps from 14,975 miles on 2 January 2024 to 17,839 miles on 9 January 2025, an increase of 2,864 miles in six months, and the interval between the 2021‑12‑08 test (7,496 miles) and the 2022‑12‑08 test (8,831 miles) adds only 1,335 miles in a year, suggesting irregular usage rather than continuous high‑kilometre operation. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the rear brake discs for deep scoring or cracking, verify that the brake calipers move freely and are not binding, and examine the front and rear sub‑frames for any worsening rust that could affect structural integrity; tyre tread depth, washer fluid level and wiper performance must also be checked, as previous failures in these areas indicate recurring consumable wear that may signal broader maintenance neglect.
