2014 MINI Countryman 2.0L Diesel · YR64 AEX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-10 at 84,752 miles showed a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding test on 2025-10-04 at 84,750 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, which may suggest a technical anomaly or procedural error. Subsequent tests from 2023-01-05 to 2025-01-02 showed consistent passing with no issues, reinforcing that the car has generally met roadworthiness standards. The lack of recurring defects in the majority of tests implies no significant mechanical decline, though the unexplained failure warrants cautious scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 84,752 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 7,063 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT intervals between 2023-01-05 and 2025-01-02 spanned 14 months, with mileage increases of 5,815 and 6,268 miles respectively, suggesting regular but not excessive usage. The final test in October 2025 occurred just six days after a failure, which may indicate a rushed retest or a minor technical issue. The absence of defects in the majority of records suggests no systemic wear, though the sparse data limits deeper analysis of long-term trends. A buyer should prioritize a detailed inspection of the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade over time in older vehicles. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT records is reassuring, but a physical check for binding calipers, brake disc warping, or exhaust emissions would confirm the car’s mechanical integrity. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the unexplained failure and lack of detailed defect reports mean a professional assessment is essential to identify potential hidden issues not captured in the tests.
