2014 MINI Roadster 1.6L Petrol · LG64 FNK

The 2026‑03‑06 MOT at 25,036 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend after earlier failures. Since the 2025‑03‑06 test, which recorded near‑side front and rear tyre cuts but no structural faults, the vehicle has shown no new major defects, suggesting that previous issues have been addressed and the car remains mechanically sound. The mileage record shows a gradual increase from 9,190 miles in September 2018 to 25,036 miles in March 2026, averaging 2,086 miles per year, which is low for a 12‑year‑old car and points to periods of limited use or storage. The jump of 1,288 miles between the 2025‑03‑06 and 2026‑03‑06 tests represents a 5.4% annual rise, the largest yearly increment in the record, while earlier intervals show steady growth without prolonged stagnation. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the tyres and wheel bearings, as repeated cuts and excessive play were noted in 2025 and 2025‑02‑26, and verify the integrity of suspension bushes, coil springs and rear subframe mounting points, given the 2019 near‑side rear wheel distortion and 2018 near‑side rear road wheel distortion; the absence of recent corrosion advisories suggests low rust risk, but a visual check of the chassis and suspension components remains essential.
