2012 MINI Cooper S 1.6L Petrol · MF12 SWO

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the most recent MOT results. The March 2026 test indicates a failure followed by a successful retest on the same day, although the specific reason for the initial failure was not documented in the provided record. Since that retest, the vehicle has maintained a clean pass record with no recorded defects or advisories for the three consecutive years between 2023 and 2026. The recorded mileage of 66,601 miles is low for a 2012 model, averaging approximately 4,757 miles per year. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing from April 2023 through to the March 2026 test. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, suggesting the vehicle has been subject to regular annual inspections despite the lower frequency of road use. Because the MOT records show no specific mechanical failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on components not always captured by MOT testing. Given the low annual mileage, a buyer should check for signs of age-related degradation such as perished rubber seals, perished tyre sidewalls, or seized brake calipers resulting from infrequent use. The lack of recorded advisories for exhaust emissions or suspension wear suggests these systems were within legal limits at the time of the last test, but manual verification of the drivetrain and underside for surface rust remains necessary. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.
