2012 MINI 1.6L Petrol · MW12 TZP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT data. The test conducted on August 4, 2025 at 64,058 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a clean pass in 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural integrity has remained well-maintained despite intermittent electrical-related failures. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,058 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,576 miles. The usage pattern appears consistent over the last three years, with only 2,424 miles covered between July 2024 and August 2025, and roughly 2,829 miles between July 2023 and July 2024. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber components perishing or brake components seizing due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lighting systems and external trim, as the 2023 failure at 58,805 miles highlighted multiple issues involving the offside front position lamp and rear stop lamps. The deterioration of the front registration plate noted in July 2024 suggests the exterior plastics may be suffering from UV degradation. Given the low annual mileage, it is also essential to check the brake discs for surface corrosion and inspect the suspension bushes for cracks, as these parts often age through time rather than through high mileage.
