At a guess both 2014 figures are in Km. Difference is approx 370 miles; not really a lot in a fortnight.
By 2015 the car has been re-calibrated for miles and, by inference, mileage was re-started at 0*. There's reasonably consistent low mileage annual use after that. The fact it was tested on 14 April 2015 is fine. It was tested at first opportunity to make use of the concession that allows the May expiry date to be held.
I wonder if previous owner had either given up driving or died a while after the 2019 MoT? If it was then passed to a garage, say by executors to facilitate sale, then perhaps, with Covid still affecting workshop capacity, fixing the wiper was not an urgent job.
At the end of the day a prospective purchaser will need to satisfy themselves as to history and, more importantly with an underused vehicle, condition.
* We've experienced similar in past, didn't involve km but speedo failure in our BX in mid/late nineties was cured with a replacement unit. Actually second time for that car as it had failed in previous ownership but a sticker on the speedo and the clear history made position abundantly clear.
