Our Verdict
Approach this 2014 MINI Convertible (SL64DPU) with caution and a realistic repair budget. The MOT history shows recurring corrosion and an oil leak that need monitoring, but it has passed its most recent test at 79,614 miles.
Use the recorded advisories as negotiation points. The 2024 MOT failure was for an ineffective offside front wiper, but the same test also listed brake pad warning light faults, a non-excessive front oil leak, and subframe corrosion — all cleared on a retest the same day after the wiper was fixed. Given the 2025 advisories of worn front tyre edges, light subframe corrosion, and offside rear sill corrosion, budget for tyres and an underbody inspection.
As a 1598cc petrol MINI from 2014, expect modest fuel economy typical of the R57 convertible, though no official figures are in the provided data. Insurance and tax will reflect a small petrol convertible; the 1.6 petrol is generally cheap to service, but the noted oil leak and corrosion may add cost over time.
Inspect the front subframe and offside rear inner sill for the light corrosion noted at the 2025 MOT (79,614 miles), as the 2024 test already flagged subframe and rear subframe mounting corrosion. Check the front tyres for the worn edges recorded in 2025 and confirm both rears are free of the nails and cracking/perishing noted in 2024.
This white 2014 MINI (R57) petrol convertible has covered 79,614 miles as of its October 2025 MOT, which is broadly in line with an 11-year-old car. The history shows a single failure in 2024 for a wiper fault plus pre-existing advisories, with corrosion on the subframe and sills noted in both 2024 and 2025. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment is based solely on this vehicle's own record.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the MINI MINI (R57), so this assessment relies entirely on the individual vehicle's history.
