2014 MINI ONE 1.5L Diesel · KW14 DLU

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, passing its most recent inspection in December 2025 with 112,262 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has maintained a clean record for several consecutive years. While the most recent test identified a minor defect regarding a deteriorated front registration plate and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit, these represent standard consumable wear-and-tear rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,355 miles per year. The data shows a steady rate of usage, moving from 57,810 miles in December 2021 to 112,262 miles by late 2025. There is a significant gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests where the car covered over 27,000 miles, suggesting regular motorway use which often helps prevent the issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should pay attention to the suspension components, specifically noting the 2022 advisory for an offside rear shock absorber showing oil mist at 84,863 miles. Although this did not result in a failure, misting indicates a failing seal that will eventually require replacement. The 2025 advisory regarding the worn edge of the nearside front tyre also suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be inspected physically to prevent premature wear of new rubber. Beyond these items, the lack of structural corrosion or brake failures in the history suggests the chassis has been well-maintained.
