2012 MINI ONE 1.6L Petrol · OS61 WAR

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This performance indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the car has cleared four consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory or failure. The absence of recurring mechanical issues suggests that the previous owner has adhered to a consistent servicing schedule, ensuring that consumables and safety-critical components remain within operational parameters. With a recorded mileage of 72,467 over 14 years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,176 miles per annum. This low-usage profile is generally favourable, though it necessitates a check for issues associated with long periods of inactivity, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. The record shows a brief anomaly in November 2022, where a test failure occurred on 11 November followed by a successful pass only six days later on 17 November. This quick turnaround implies a minor rectification, likely a simple bulb replacement or a similar consumable item that was addressed immediately. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade due to time rather than just road use. Check the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. While the MOT history is exemplary, ensure that the engine bay shows no signs of oil leaks or coolant degradation, as the low mileage may mask underlying issues that have not yet manifested during routine testing.
