2014 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · CV64 DBU

The 2014 MINI COOPER demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-10-29 assessment at 128,487 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the gap between the last MOT and today’s date (2026-07-22) means the next test is overdue. This does not reflect on the car’s current condition but highlights the need for the buyer to verify up-to-date compliance. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,700 miles annually. Tests at 77,367 (2021), 92,320 (2022), 107,097 (2023), 114,249 (2024), and 128,487 (2025) show steady accumulation with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. This pattern suggests regular operation rather than infrequent use or long-term storage. The lack of recurring faults in the record implies no systemic issues, though the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant scrutiny of components prone to wear, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake systems. A physical inspection should focus on potential corrosion in the exhaust system, which is common in older models, and signs of brake disc warping or caliper binding, which can develop over time. The suspension’s condition, particularly rubber bushes and coil springs, should be checked for age-related degradation. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, the vehicle’s 12-year lifespan and high mileage mean proactive checks on these areas are prudent. No major structural issues are indicated, but the buyer should seek a detailed service history to confirm ongoing care.
