This 2014 Mini has 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 57,751 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly irregular, with a significant drop in annual usage in recent years.
The vehicle shows high initial usage (12,530 miles/year) but a significant drop to only 2,340 miles in the last 12 months, indicating a change in driving patterns or potential issues.
Things to check
- 5 DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded across multiple MOT tests (Jun 2018, Oct 2021, Oct 2023).
- Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes (3 failures), engine/oil (4 advisories), lights (6 advisories), and suspension (8 advisories).
- High mileage usage (12,530 miles/year) for its age, followed by a significant drop to 2,340 miles in the last 12 months.
- The 2017-06-24 MOT failure for windscreen wiper and headlamp aim, then passed the same day, suggests a 'just passed' sale tactic.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
