2014 MINI 2.0L Diesel · HV64 YOM

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent inspection in July 2025 at 57,768 miles. This latest result indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards compared to previous years where mechanical wear was flagged. The absence of any defects in the final test suggests that the owner has addressed the outstanding issues identified in earlier MOT records. The mileage profile is characteristically low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in usage between July 2022 and July 2023, where the car covered only 1,097 miles. However, the usage increased significantly between 2023 and 2025, with the vehicle covering 23,513 miles in that two-year period. This pattern of intermittent use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and potential brake corrosion, though the overall total mileage remains low. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the history shows recurring issues with thin pads across 2021 and 2022. While these appear to have been resolved by 2025, the buyer should check for uneven wear or sticking calipers to ensure longevity. The 2024 advisory regarding front tyres worn to the edge also suggests a possible previous alignment issue or neglect, which should be verified by checking current tyre patterns. Given the low annual mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and bushings is necessary to ensure they have not perished from age or periods of standing.
