2014 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · ST14 SFU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status according to the most recent MOT record. The December 2025 test at 66,268 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,522 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 57,204 miles in January 2023 to 66,268 miles in late 2025. While the low annual mileage suggests light usage, the gap between the January 2023 failure and the subsequent pass indicates a period of corrective maintenance was required to bring the car up to standard. The recent intervals between tests show a consistent usage pattern without significant periods of long-term storage or excessive high-speed motorway running. A physical inspection should focus on components that typically degrade during low-mileage, short-trip usage. While the MOT history is clean, vehicles driven short distances often suffer from moisture buildup in the exhaust system and potential carbon deposits in the engine. You should check the underside for signs of surface corrosion and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of perishing or fatigue. The brakes should be examined for uneven wear or sticking calipers, as these can occur when a car is not driven frequently enough to clear debris. Given the clean MOT history, the vehicle appears well-kept, but a thorough check of all consumables, including tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, remains necessary to complement the official DVSA record.
