2014 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · LS14 BWD

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 with 139,843 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has consistently addressed previously identified faults. While the latest test was clean, the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance regarding specific components, such as the failure in November 2024 due to an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system which was rectified immediately to achieve a pass on the same day. At 139,843 miles, the car has averaged approximately 11,654 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 6,000 to 10,000 miles covered between annual tests from 2022 to 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the high cumulative mileage places places significant life demands on rubber components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain assemblies. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and braking system. The November 2022 test flagged both nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes as worn; although these did not cause a failure at the time, they are common points of degradation on this chassis at high mileage. Additionally, the November 2023 advisory noted thin front brake pads, necessitating a thorough check of the remaining pad life and the condition of the discs to ensure they have not been scored or pitted since the last service.
