2014 MINI ONE 1.2L Petrol · LG64 RCZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 17, 2026, at 69,921 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. The car failed an MOT test just one week prior at 69,919 miles due to rear brake pads reaching a critical thickness of 1.1mm. While the immediate defect was rectified, this failure indicates that the previous owner only addressed components once they reached failure points rather than following scheduled service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression of 5,000 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, and another 6,400 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This low usage suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it often allows rubber-based components and suspension bushings to perish from age and moisture ingress during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should personally inspect the braking system in detail, as the 2025 test flagged both front tyres as being worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This pattern, combined with the recent rear pad failure, suggests a need to check for seized brake calipers or alignment issues. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough underbody inspection is required for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as these are common issues on low-mileage MINIs that sit stationary.
