2014 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Diesel · SH64 LKC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT test on 20 October 2025 at 79,698 miles. Although the record shows an initial failure on that date, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly by the owner. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without advisories, indicating no recurring mechanical failures or structural deterioration across the last four testing cycles. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 60,670 miles and October 2025 at 79,698 miles, the car covered 19,028 miles, showing a steady usage rate rather than long periods of neglect or rapid accumulation. This low-mileage profile generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the age of the vehicle means that de-rating is less a concern than age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid-related systems. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the digital history, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for this generation of MINI that do not always trigger an MOT failure early. Check the front wish arm bushes and engine mounts for cracking, as these often perish with age despite low mileage. Inspect the brake calipers for signs of corrosion or binding, and examine the undercarriage for any surface rust on the exhaust mounting or structural members that the MOT tester may not yet flagged.
