2012 MINI 1.6L Petrol · LB62 AAY

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 10 November 2025 at 25,351 miles with no recorded defects. Earlier failures – a near‑side front tyre tear in November 2025, a washer‑fluid deficiency in November 2023, and tyre‑rotation errors in November 2018 – have all been rectified, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening one. Mileage has remained exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 1,800 miles per year. Between the 2022‑11‑18 test at 24,994 miles and the 2025‑11‑10 test at 25,351 miles the car accrued only 357 miles, showing no periods of rapid use or unexplained gaps. The consistent, modest mileage suggests limited wear on major components. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the near‑side front tyre, which has shown repeated cracking and, most recently, a structural tear; verify that the tyre is now free of damage and correctly fitted. Confirm that both rear tyres conform to side‑wall rotation markings, as past tests flagged incorrect fitting. Inspect the windscreen washer system to ensure adequate fluid delivery, and perform a standard check of suspension bushes, brake discs and pads, and any signs of corrosion on the chassis. With the recorded history showing only consumable‑level issues, the car appears mechanically sound provided these items are satisfactory on inspection.
