2014 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · AP14 OTN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on 4 April 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a minor immediate failure on that same date due to insufficient washer fluid delivery from both jets. This was rectified quickly to allow a pass with no further defects recorded on the retest, suggesting the primary mechanical and structural components met the minimum safety standards as of the April inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the data between the March 2023 test at 44,627 miles and the April 2025 test at 57,036 miles. The car covered over 12,000 miles in those two years, yet the 2026 test records a drop to 51,631 miles. This inconsistency suggests a clerical entry error in the database or an odometer reading that requires verification. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system, as the April 2025 test at 57,036 miles flagged surface pitting and scoring across all four brake discs. While this is common on low-mileage cars that sit for extended periods, the buyer should ensure the discs have not thinned excessively or are not wearing unevenly. The windscreen also showed recurring stone chips across 2024 and 2025; these should be checked to ensure the chip has not developed into a crack that would cause a future failure.
