2012 MINI (R60) 1.6L Petrol · LC12 ONW

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent inspection. The November 2025 test at 64,962 miles shows a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of roadworthiness. While the record shows a failed test on that same date, the immediate pass indicates that any issues identified were rectified promptly, leaving the current status as technically sound according to official records. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging approximately 4,640 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 46,684 miles in September 2022 to 55,553 miles in September 2024, followed by the 64,962 miles recorded in late 2025. This pattern suggests light, intermittent use rather than heavy motorway commuting. While low mileage is generally positive, such usage patterns can sometimes lead to specific issues like battery degradation or tyre flat-spotting due to extended periods of standing. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean and lacks recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, there are no immediate red flags regarding structural integrity or mechanical wear. However, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underside to check for corrosion, particularly on the subframes and exhaust system, as MOT testers do not always flag minor surface oxidation. Given the low annual mileage, a thorough check of all rubber components is advised. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushings, drive shafts, and various coolant hoses for signs of perishing or cracking. The absence of historical brake or tyre advisories suggests the consumables have been well-maintained, but a physical check for uneven tyre wear or binding calipers remains a necessary step to confirm the vehicle's current condition.
