2014 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · RV64 URF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass in April 2026 at 104,436 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of minor electrical and consumable issues following a significant failure in early 2024. While the car passed its latest test, the history of an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in 2024 and a non-functional nearside front fog light in 2026 suggests a reactive approach to minor faults rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026, and another 8,400 miles in the preceding year. This consistent usage profile suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals to prevent premature drying or internal fluid degradation. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension and geometry due to the recurring reports of inner-edge tyre wear in 2023 and 2025. This pattern typically indicates incorrect alignment, worn ball joints, or failing suspension bushes that have not been addressed. Furthermore, the 2024 record notes that undertrays prevented a full underside inspection. A physical inspection involving the removal of these trays is essential to check for structural corrosion, oil leaks, or exhaust damage that the tester could not access during the official examination.
