2012 MINI Cooper S Auto 1.6L Petrol · LL62 GZM

The 2026-02-20 MOT at 71,027 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle’s maintenance trend remains stable. No recurring faults have been logged across the successive tests from 2023 to 2026. The mileage has risen from 60,677 miles in the January 2023 test to 71,027 miles in the February 2026 test, an increase of roughly 10,350 miles over three years, or about 3,450 miles per year, which aligns with the low annual usage expected for a 14‑year‑old car. The interval between the 2024-01-22 and 2025-01-22 tests shows a gain of 3,792 miles, while the 2023-01-04 to 2024-01-22 interval covers 2,823 miles, indicating consistent, modest accumulation rather than rapid mileage build‑up. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or cracking, inspect the rear and front brake calipers for binding, and check the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear. Particular attention to structural rust around the wheel arches, chassis rails and underbody is advisable, as is verification of exhaust emission levels and overall structural integrity, given the vehicle’s age despite the clean MOT history. Overall, the record shows no evidence of neglect or recurring mechanical problems, but a physical inspection must confirm that the low mileage has not masked latent corrosion or component fatigue that could affect roadworthiness.
