2014 MINI ONE 1.2L Petrol · DR02 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 116,212 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed that same inspection due to an offside rear tyre and worn brake discs. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached the point of legal failure, a pattern that has persisted across the last four years of the recorded history. At 116,212 miles, the MINI has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a twelve-year-old car. The data shows consistent annual accumulation, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between September 2024 and 2025, and another 11,000 miles in the year preceding those tests. This regularity suggests the car was not left stationary for long periods, though the high cumulative mileage places significant stress on rubber-related components and the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension. The rear brake discs were flagged as pitted, scored, or worn in every test since 2022 at 82,347 miles, suggesting a potential issue with sticking calipers or poor environmental protection. The recurring issues with cracked tyres and worn edges as noted in 2023 and 2024 further highlight a neglect of basic consumable maintenance. You must specifically inspect the control arm bushes and coil springs for wear, as these often fail at this mileage and are not always detailed in the MOT advisories until they cause a failure.
