AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the 12 January 2026 test at 146,376 miles, passing with a series of advisory items. The pattern of results shows a modest improvement – the most recent test passed after a failure in December 2025 – yet the recurrence of lighting faults, coil‑spring corrosion and brake‑system advisories indicates that the underlying maintenance trend remains mixed rather than fully resolved. Mileage has accumulated to 146,376 miles over twelve years, averaging roughly 12,200 miles per annum, which is high for a MINI Cooper. The record shows 138,803 miles on 5 January 2024, rising to 142,726 miles by 30 December 2024 and remaining at that level on 3 January 2025, then increasing to 146,329 miles on 29 December 2025 and 146,376 miles on 12 January 2026. The jump of over 3,600 miles within a single year suggests periods of intensive use, while the relatively static mileage between late 2024 and early 2025 may reflect limited running or a recording anomaly. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear stop lamp assembly, which has been flagged on every test since 2024, and to the front‑side repeaters that failed in both 2025 and 2024. Corroded rear coil springs on both sides, noted in 2025 and again in 2026, merit inspection for structural integrity and possible replacement. The brake pipe corrosion and the binding rear service brake observed in 2025 require a thorough check for leaks, proper lubrication and even brake force distribution. Wheel distortion on the near‑side front and rear rims, recorded repeatedly, should be measured for true roundness, and tyre tread depth must be verified given several warnings of wear close to the legal limit. The 2024 front‑shock fluid leak and the 2025 tyre‑pressure‑monitoring system failure also call for a review of the suspension and electronic systems. Finally, the exhaust‑fume hazard noted in the 2025 failure warrants a visual inspection of the exhaust manifold and injector seals to ensure no ongoing emissions issue.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2014 Mini Cooper (DG14 EBC) between January 2024 and January 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 12 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (16 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust fumes causing a danger to health of persons on board injector seals leaking (6.1.2 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Side repeater with a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”.
