2012 MINI 1.6L Petrol · JRZ 6040

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 98,520 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test two days prior on 1 December 2025 at 98,483 miles, the lack of listed defects in the record suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a significant mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It has covered approximately 7,037 miles per year, showing a steady accumulation of distance. Between 21 November 2022 at 79,203 miles and 16 November 2024 at 90,171 miles, the car averaged roughly 5,400 miles annually. Use increased slightly in the final year, adding over 8,000 miles between November 2024 and December 2025. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a 14 year old MINI. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. Because the MOT record is exceptionally clean, it provides no data on the current state of wear-and-tear items. A buyer should manually check the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake pads and discs. Attention should be paid to the chassis and suspension components during a physical inspection. Older MINIs often suffer from corrosion on the sills and subframes, as well as wear in the suspension bushes and coil springs. Since the DVSA records show no flags for structural integrity or leaks, these areas require a proactive manual check to ensure the lack of recorded faults reflects the actual condition of the metalwork.
