2012 MINI MINI (R60)2.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 105,832 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently achieved a clean pass following immediate repairs. The pattern of failing and then passing on the very next day in both January 2025 and January 2026 suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified defects immediately to maintain legal compliance, rather than allowing faults to persist or accumulate. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 105,832 miles averages to approximately 7,559 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a vehicle of this age, suggesting moderate wear on drivetrain components and consumables. The data shows a clear progression of 11,086 miles between December 2023 and January 2025, and another 10,504 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This regular interval indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of neglect or neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these are common areas of wear on the R60 platform. While the record shows no recurring advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check of control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or tearing. Given the mileage, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody for corrosion is also essential to ensure no hidden surface rot has developed since the last recorded test.
