2012 MINI Cooper 1.6L Petrol · SV62 WJM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 22 October 2025 at 113,224 miles. While the record shows a failure just eight days prior at 113,156 miles, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests a minor, easily rectified issue or an administrative oversight rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any recorded advisories or failures across consecutive tests. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 27,901 miles, showing a steady rate of accumulation. The jump of 11,060 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates the vehicle is still being used regularly, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and the prevention of brake-related corrosion often associated with long periods of stationary storage. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on the common wear points inherent to this model at this mileage. The buyer should examine the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. Particular attention is required for the structural integrity of the sills and underbody corrosion, as the MOT test only flags surface rust once it reaches a critical threshold. Checking for any fluid leaks or uneven brake pad wear will also ensure the clean MOT history reflects the current mechanical state of the drivetrain.
