2014 MINI Countryman 2.0L Diesel · WR64 EWX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT on May 8 2026 at 104,987 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a significant failure in May 2024. While the 2024 test revealed multiple safety-critical failures, the subsequent passes without advisories indicate that the owner addressed the immediate mechanical concerns and maintained the vehicle to a functional standard. At 12 years old, the 2014 Countryman has averaged approximately 8,750 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between October 2023 and May 2024, and another 2,800 miles between May 2024 and April 2025. This regular interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and seals. A prospective buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a 2024 failure due to structural separation lumps on the rear tyres and a 2025 advisory for cracking and perishing on both sides. Given the age of the vehicle, rubber rot is a likely factor regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding a nearside rear inner brake pad below the 1.5mm limit indicates that the braking system requires regular monitoring. The buyer should ensure the brake discs are not excessively worn and that the calipers are not binding, given the high mileage.
