2014 MINI Cooper 1.5L Petrol · VO64 LBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in mechanical cleanliness in the most recent inspection. While the car achieved four consecutive passes between 2021 and 2024 without any defects, the July 2025 test at 18,820 miles identified a minor oil leak originating from the artwork end cap and surface damage to the nearside tyres. This indicates a transition from a perfectly clean history to one requiring specific preventative attention. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2014 registration, averaging only approximately 1,568 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-impact usage, moving from 13,668 miles in July 2021 to 18,820 miles by 2025. This rate of travel typically reduces the wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber-based parts and seals due to the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the gearbox end cap to determine if the oil leak is a slow seep or an active fault requiring replacement. The tester flagged cracking and perishing on the nearside front and rear tyres in July 2025, which is a common symptom of age-related dry rot rather than tread wear. You should also check the artwork discs for corrosion and the calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust when the brakes are not used frequently enough to keep the metal clean.
