2012 MINI 1.6L Petrol · AM11 VAL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 October 2025 at 118,556 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test only to pass a retest days later, suggesting that the owner addresses minor defects once flagged by the tester rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At 13 years old with 118,556 miles recorded, the vehicle averages approximately 9,120 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 5,676 miles covered between February 2024 and October 2024, and another 5,290 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which often helps prevent the internal engine corrosion and seal failures associated with long periods of standing. While the most recent tests showed no recorded advisories or mechanical defects, the buyer should still inspect the vehicle for common Citroen-related wear points. Given the mileage, a close look at the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these often degrade after this distance. The buyer should also check for early-stage surface corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it reaches a point of failure.
