2014 MINI Cooper 1.5L Diesel · YG64 GGX

The 2014 MINI Cooper holds a roadworthy pass as of the 15 May 2025 test at 95,819 miles, though that date also shows a failure entry with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable; across the three available annual tests, no advisories or mechanical faults appear. In the 15 May 2025 examination and the 15 May 2024 examination at 86,954 miles, the tester logged both a fail and a pass on the same day with zero defects noted. The mileage advanced from 74,143 miles at the 24 April 2023 pass to 86,954 miles by 15 May 2024, then to 95,819 miles by 15 May 2025. This reflects roughly 8,800 to 12,800 miles per annum, aligning with the expected average for a 12-year-old vehicle. Testing occurred yearly with no extended lapses, but the history covers only 2023 onwards, leaving the first nine years unverified. The repeated same-day fail and pass cycles in May 2024 and May 2025 warrant direct enquiry with DVSA to establish the original failure cause. The official records list no concerns with suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still inspect these components physically, focusing on structural integrity and consumable wear typical for a high-mileage older MINI. Previous keepers appear to have addressed any test rejection swiftly, yet the total absence of advisories across 21,676 miles suggests either rigorous home maintenance or superficial test scrutiny. We advise a pre-purchase mechanical assessment to verify hidden faults not captured by the MOT dataset.
