2012 MINI (R60) 1.6L Petrol · GY62 HTN

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT on 23 July 2026 at 49,050 miles. This follows a period of consistent performance where no defects were recorded during the July 2025 test. While the history shows minor consumable issues in the past, the absence of recent mechanical failures suggests that the structural integrity and primary systems remain well-maintained by the current owner. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 49,050 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent over the last decade, with only 31,621 miles covered between June 2016 and July 2026. This low-intensity profile typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts perishing due to age rather than distance-related friction. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres and related rubber components, as the record shows a recurring trend of perishing and damage. The tester flagged cracking tyres in both 2021 and 2024, while an offside rear tyre reached the legal limit in 2022. Given the low mileage, these tyres may be suffering from dry rot despite potentially having remaining tread depth. Additionally, verify the state of the braking system, as the record noted thin front pads as far back as 2015, and low-use vehicles can suffer from disc corrosion or seized calipers if left stationary for long periods.
