2012 MINI MINI (R60)1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a consistently high standard of roadworthiness based on the available MOT data. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 75,543 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has successfully passed every recorded inspection since at least March 2022 without any flagged issues regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or lighting. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,396 miles per year. The record shows a steady and predictable increase in mileage, moving from 61,494 miles in March 2022 to 75,543 miles in February 2026. This consistent usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which helps prevent issues like seized calipers or perished rubber components often found in low-use vehicles. Since the MOT history is entirely devoid of advisories, there are no documented trends of worsening suspension bushes, corroded exhaust systems, or uneven tyre wear. While the digital record shows no failures, a physical inspection should still focus on age-related consumables that MOT tests do not always capture in detail. Specifically, check the condition of the drive belts, coolant age, and the integrity of the various rubber bushings in the suspension assembly. Given the low annual mileage, the mechanical components should theoretically be in good condition, but the buyer should verify that the service history matches the clean MOT record. Focus on inspecting the underside for any signs of early-stage corrosion on the subframes and check that the brake discs show no significant lip or uneven wear, despite the lack of reported binding issues in the recent tests.
