2014 MINI Cooper S 2.0L Petrol · VU14 GWN

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of maintenance. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 94,984 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to October 2021, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the recurring failures typical of a twelve year old MINI. The mileage accumulation is steady and aligns with typical usage for its age. Between the October 2021 test at 68,724 miles and the August 2025 test at 94,984 miles, the vehicle covered 26,260 miles over nearly four years. This average of roughly 7,915 miles per year suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. The absence of any advisories over the last five years is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. Most cars this age show at least minor wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, or tyre tread. The lack of flagged issues implies a proactive approach to maintenance where consumables were likely replaced before they reached a failure threshold. A physical inspection should still focus on common MINI Cooper S weak points that MOT testers often overlook if they are not critical failures. Check for oil leaks around the sump and valve cover, and inspect the condition of the cooling system hoses. While the records show no structural corrosion or suspension wear, a manual check of the steering rack and chassis rails is advised to confirm the absence of surface rust.
