2012 MINI 1.6L Diesel · X90 GRH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having cleared the October 2025 MOT at 131,509 miles. The earlier fail on the same day was remedied before the re‑test, and no defects were recorded on either result, indicating that any outstanding issue was resolved promptly. Mileage has risen from 110,979 miles at the November 2023 test to 121,436 miles at the October 2024 test, then to 131,509 miles at the October 2025 test. This equates to roughly 10–11 k miles per year, a normal usage pattern for a fourteen‑year‑old MINI. No large gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, suggesting consistent annual mileage without prolonged periods of inactivity. Although the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical or structural advisories, a prospective buyer should still examine typical wear items. Verify tyre tread depth and uniformity, check brake pads and discs for uneven wear, and feel for any play in the front suspension bushes or coil springs. A visual inspection for surface rust on the chassis and under‑carriage will confirm the absence of hidden corrosion. A final walk‑around should include a functional test of the steering feel, a brief acceleration run to listen for abnormal noises, and a check that all lights and electronic controls operate correctly. Addressing these routine checks will ensure that the vehicle’s condition aligns with the clean MOT record.
