2014 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · FN64 FSS

The 2014 MINI Cooper S presents a clean and stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 6,813 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with no advisories or failures. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening or emerging faults across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 6,813 miles for a twelve-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 568 miles per year. The DVSA data shows minimal annual accumulation: 6,658 miles in August 2021, 6,734 in August 2022, 6,767 in August 2023, 6,795 in August 2024, and 6,813 in August 2025. No gaps appear between tests and no rapid mileage jumps occur. The clean history with no flagged tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion implies the previous keeper maintained statutory testing but the very low use suggests long standing periods. A buyer should still inspect for age-related degradation not captured by MOT passes. Low mileage with long idle spells accelerates perishable component rot: check brake discs for surface corrosion, calipers for binding after storage, and tyre sidewalls for cracking despite adequate tread. The tester noted no structural integrity issues, yet sill and subframe rust can develop unseen on a car this age. Verify the odometer reading against service invoices, as 568 miles per year is atypical and may reflect a declared mileage discrepancy or genuine garage-kept use. Suspension arms and coil springs should be road-tested for compliance given the minimal cycling of components over twelve years.
