2014 MINI ONE1.6L Petrol

The 2025‑08‑01 MOT at 47,574 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards. The record shows a series of passes from 2017 onward, with only minor tyre‑related advisories in 2021 and 2022; the recent test indicates a stable maintenance pattern rather than a worsening trend. At 12 years old, the 47,574‑mile odometer equates to roughly 3,964 miles per year, a figure below the typical usage for a car of this age and suggesting periods of limited driving. Mileage increments are generally consistent year‑on‑year, but the jump from 31,017 miles in August 2021 to 47,574 miles in August 2025 represents an accumulation of 16,557 miles in four years, indicating a noticeable increase in usage compared with the earlier low‑mileage phase. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the offside rear brake pipe, which was noted as corroded and greasy in the 2024 test, and verify that the rear brakes are not binding, as the 2024 record flagged this condition. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the condition of the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, and examine the chassis for any structural rust that could compromise integrity. Although tyre wear was recorded in 2021 and 2022, the recent pass suggests that any previous damage has been addressed; nevertheless, a close examination of tyre tread depth, sidewall condition, and wheel alignment is advisable to confirm that consumable wear remains within acceptable limits.
