1984 Rover MINI 1.0L Petrol · A812 PFC

The 1984 Rover Mini presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass at the most recent test on 12 April 2024 at 44,813 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend across the three available tests is steady and free of advisories, showing no worsening or recurring mechanical faults. Mileage data shows the car covered only 107 miles between April 2023 (44,706 miles) and April 2024 (44,813 miles), confirming extremely light annual use of roughly 1,067 miles per year across its 42-year life. A notable jump appears between April 2022 (16,291 miles) and April 2023 (44,706 miles), adding 28,415 miles in one year before use dropped sharply again. The record itself is sparse, with just three passes and no failures or advisories to scrutinise. Given the clean history, a buyer should still inspect structural integrity in person, as an MOT pass on a 42-year-old Mini does not rule out hidden chassis corrosion or subframe rust typical of the era. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be physically checked for age-related perishing from long standing periods, despite no tester flags. The low and intermittent mileage suggests the car spent years in storage, which can dry out seals and encourage underbody corrosion even without MOT defects. Verify the 2022 to 2023 mileage spike reflects genuine road use rather than a recorded error before purchase.
