2012 MINI (R60) 1.6L Diesel · EN12 UPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 85,131 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of reactive maintenance in 2024. While the car previously struggled with consumable-related advisories, the latest report suggests that the owner has addressed the outstanding issues and is maintaining the vehicle to a passing standard. At 85,131 miles over 14 years, the car averages approximately 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 7,900 miles covered in the six months leading the final test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and tyre condition, given the recurring issues noted in the history. The 2024 test flagged thin rear brake pads and a worn offside front tyre, while the 2022 record highlighted perishing on both rear tyres. Although these were cleared in the latest test, a physical inspection should verify that the current pads have sufficient life and that the tyres show no signs of sidewall cracking or misalignment. Given the age of the vehicle, a check of the suspension bushes and chassis corrosion is also advisable, as these are common points of wear on the R60 platform at this mileage.
