2014 MINI Countryman 1.6L Diesel · YH14 AFF

This vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last decade. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 104,424 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged a chip in the front windscreen. This is a minor cosmetic defect that does not impact the immediate mechanical integrity of the car. The mileage accumulation is typical for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,702 miles per year. Usage remained steady between 2017 and 2022, with a notable increase in annual distance between the 2023 test at 81,028 miles and the 2025 test at 104,424 miles. This recent uptick in mileage suggests the car has been used more intensively in the last two years. A recurring pattern of brake and tyre neglect appears throughout the history. The tester flagged worn brake discs in May 2020 and May 2021, while rear brake pads were noted as thin in August 2017. More concerning is the April 2022 test at 68,750 miles, where the tester identified corrosion on both nearside and offside rear brake pipes that had been covered in grease. This suggests an attempt to mask rust rather than replacing the affected lines. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear brake pipes for signs of further corrosion or poor-quality repairs. The history of tyres worn to the legal limit in 2017 and 2018, and again on the offside front in November 2024, indicates a reactive approach to maintenance. Check the current tyre depths and the condition of the brake discs to ensure the previous owner has not continued this trend of delaying essential consumable replacements.
