2012 MINI (R60) 1.6L Petrol · CT12 HUU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test in February 2026 at 85,252 miles resulted in no defects and no advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners have likely proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could trigger a failure, as seen across the last five recorded inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 61,985 miles and February 2026 at 85,252 miles, the car covered over 23,000 miles, suggesting regular and predictable use. There are no signs of long periods of stagnation which typically lead to seized seals, perished rubber, or excessive brake corrosion. The steady accumulation of mileage suggests that the drivetrain and cooling components have been subjected to normal operating parameters rather than being left neglected or excessively stressed by high-intensity use. Despite the clean electronic record, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear points inherent to the R60 chassis. You should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of cracking or fatigue before an MOT failure. Check the brake system for signs of uneven wear or binding calipers since the tester may not detect minor issues. Given the age of the vehicle, while the MOT has not flagged structural corrosion, a close look at the rear wheel arches and inner sills remains prudent to ensure long-term structural integrity.
