2014 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · MJ64 XSA

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent MOT on 20 May 2026. The absence of any defects or advisories in this latest test suggests that previous maintenance issues have been addressed. The record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests annually, indicating the vehicle has remained within legal operating standards for several years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 5,145 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 47,267 miles in May 2022 to 61,743 miles in May 2026. This low annual usage suggests the car has seen light use, though such patterns can sometimes lead to secondary issues like rubber component degradation due to infrequent movement. A recurring trend of tyre advisories appears between May 2023 and May 2025. During these three consecutive tests, the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres for cracking or perishing. This specific fault, combined with the low mileage context, points toward age-related rubber degradation rather than excessive tread wear from heavy driving. The fact that these advisories disappeared in the May 2026 test indicates the owner has since replaced the front tyres. A prospective buyer should focus an inspection on the condition of all rubber components, including suspension bushes and engine mounts, to ensure they have not perished from long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no issues with brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, checking the age and condition of the remaining tyres and the health of the battery would be prudent given the vehicle's low-use history.
