2014 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · ND64 ADV

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, having failed its most recent test on 9 April 2025 at 79,293 miles. While the record shows a stable trend of clean passes from December 2021 through June 2024, the most recent failure is anomalous as no specific defects were recorded. This suggests a potential administrative error or a failure to present the vehicle for a retest, leaving the current roadworthiness status unverified for over a year. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,608 miles per year. The distance covered between the June 2023 test at 66,923 miles and the June 2024 test at 73,675 miles shows a steady accumulation of 6,752 miles. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or excessive commercial use. The historical record is unusually clean, with no advisories for brake disc wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion over the last five years. While this implies a well-maintained car, the lack of any recorded wear on consumables like tyres or wiper blades over 24,000 miles is atypical. A buyer should physically inspect the brake pads and tyre tread depths to ensure these were replaced outside of the MOT process. Given the age of the vehicle, a manual check for structural rust on the sills and suspension mounting points is necessary, as the MOT history provides no data on these areas. The unexplained failure in April 2025 must be clarified with the seller to ensure no major mechanical fault or structural integrity issue was identified but omitted from the summary provided.
