2014 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · RV64 ACO

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 18,440 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable mechanical condition over the last five years. This streak of clean records suggests that the vehicle has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during its documented life. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old MINI Cooper, averaging approximately 1,537 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between October 2021 and 2022, where the car covered only 391 miles, moving from 15,112 to 15,501 miles. However, there is a more recent increase in usage between December 2024 and November 2025, where the vehicle clocked 2,135 miles. This shift suggests a return to more regular use, as the mileage climbed from 16,305 to 18,440 miles. While the MOT record is flawless, the low mileage and long periods present specific risks that require physical inspection. Vehicles that sit stationary often suffer from perished perished rubber components, including split suspension bushes and degraded wiper blades. A buyer should inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking from age and check the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers caused by lack of use. Furthermore, the age of the vehicle means a close check for structural rust on the underbody is necessary, as the MOT only monitors for significant corrosion at the point of test. Given the low mileage, pay particular attention to engine fluid levels and the condition of oil seals to ensure no dry leaks have occurred during the periods of standing.
