2012 MINI (R60) 1.6L Diesel · WM12 KSJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 90,865 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a significant lapse in consumable care occurred shortly before that test. A failure just two days prior to the pass recorded 90,853 miles due to both the nearside and offside rear tyres having exposed cords. This was rectified immediately to achieve the subsequent pass, suggesting the current owner responds to safety-critical failures once identified by the DVSA. At 14 years old, the recorded 90,865 miles represent an average usage of approximately 6,500 miles per year, which aligns with low-to-moderate driving patterns. The mileage data shows consistent annual accumulation, with roughly 4,700 to 5,700 miles driven between each annual test from 2022 to 2025. This regular use generally reduces the risk of seized components or perished rubber parts often found in lower-mileage vehicles that sit stationary for. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry and alignment, as the October 2023 test flagged a nearside front tyre worn on the outer edge at 81,221 miles. This indication often suggests worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking settings that require professional inspection. Given the recent failure regarding exposed tyre cords, a thorough check of the remaining tyre brands and tread depths is essential to ensure no further neglect is present across the axles. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake binding, which is a positive indicator for the chassis integrity of this R60 model.
