2014 MINI Cooper 1.6L Diesel · AV64 ACO

The current 2026-06-18 date places the vehicle at approximately 18 months since the most recent MOT, with a single passing test recorded at 64,250 miles on 2025-09-05. This indicates that maintenance is currently stable, as the vehicle has not failed again since the September 2025 test. However, the failure on the same date in September 2025 suggests that the vehicle's engine and drivetrain systems may have experienced a sudden or unaccounted-for failure, which could be attributed to wear or an unexpected fault rather than a gradual deterioration. The overall roadworthiness status is currently good, but the history requires careful inspection of the transmission and exhaust components. Regarding mileage, the vehicle is approximately 12 years old with 64,250 miles, representing about 5,354 miles per year. This is low for its age, which is typically consistent with light usage or long periods of standing. The mileage pattern is relatively clean, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation of miles that would suggest heavy use or accelerated wear. While the low mileage suggests the vehicle may have been used less frequently or for longer periods, the absence of any mileage-related faults in the MOT history reinforces the likelihood that the vehicle has been maintained adequately for its age. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and braking systems in person, as the MOT records indicate wear on these components. The 2025 and 2024 tests both flagged binding rear brakes and pitted or scored brake discs, but these were noted as not seriously weakened. This suggests that while these components are worn, they are likely still functional. The inspection should also check for structural integrity, particularly around the engine bay and exhaust system, given the history of engine failures. A thorough visual and tactile examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers is essential to rule out hidden mechanical risks before proceeding with purchase.
