2012 MINI 2.0L Diesel · DV62 MYS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 72,056 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a transition from electrical failures to consumable wear. While the 2024 test failed due to lighting issues, the subsequent passes in 2025 and the 2026 test indicate that the owner is responsive to immediate repair requirements as they arise. At fourteen years old, the recorded mileage of 72,056 miles represents a low usage profile, averaging approximately 5,147 miles per year. This pattern is consistent across the records, with roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles covered between annual tests from 2023 to 2026. Such low mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts degrading due to age and periods of stationary rather than distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres, as the June 2026 test flagged the nearside rear tyre for cracking and perishing despite having sufficient tread. This mirrors the 2023 advisory regarding an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit, suggesting that age-related dry rot is a greater concern than mechanical mileage. Given the low annual mileage, you should also inspect suspension bushes and hoses for cracking, as these components often become brittle over time on older vehicles that are not driven frequently.
