2012 MINI 1.6L Petrol · 68 CA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 55,134 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, moving from a failure in early 2024 to clean passes in the subsequent tests. While the latest report notes a minor issue with condensation in the offside front lower fog lamp, this is a cosmetic defect that does not impact the mechanical integrity or immediate safety of the vehicle. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 55,134 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-usage pattern with only 2,441 miles driven between the February 2024 and February 2026 tests. This low annual mileage suggests less wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain components, though it also increases the likelihood of rubber-based components, such as bushings and seals, degrading due to age and potential periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front suspension and tyre geometry, as the February 2024 failure highlighted a tyre worn to the limit and bald on the outer edge. This often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage. The door mechanism on the nearside front passenger side should also be tested to ensure the repair following the previous failure remains properly maintained and is not binding. Given the low mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on the sills and underbody is advisable, as long-standing vehicles can suffer from surface rust regardless of the distance driven.
