Our Verdict
This MINI ONE D presents a relatively clean recent MOT history with no recorded defects in its last three tests. It is a sensible option for those seeking a diesel variant, provided the service history matches the low frequency of MOT advisories.
When inspecting this 2012 diesel MINI, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, especially given the higher-than-average mileage. While the MOT history shows no recent defects, you should check for any evidence of oil leaks or unusual engine noise which are common considerations for high-mileage diesel engines.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT record is clean, the vehicle has covered much more ground than the aggregate average for this model. Ensure you check the condition of the tyres and suspension components, as these are the most frequent failure points for the MINI ONE D across the wider dataset.
As a 1.6L diesel, the MINI ONE D is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for longer motorway journeys. You should check the specific tax band and insurance group for this 2012 registration, but diesel MINIs typically sit in moderate insurance categories.
Maintenance costs will be influenced by the mileage. While the recent MOTs show no failures, you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes. Given the aggregate data, expect occasional costs related to shock absorbers or tyre replacements.
Based on the aggregate data for the MINI ONE D, you should pay close attention to the tyres and the shock absorbers, as these are identified as top MOT failure reasons for this model. Check the tyre tread depth and look for any uneven wear which could indicate suspension issues.
Additionally, verify that all engine indicators and lights are functioning correctly, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a common failure reason in the wider model sample. Given the diesel engine, a thorough check of the underside for any signs of fluid leaks is also recommended.
Registered in September 2012, this blue MINI ONE D has covered 55,853 miles as of its last MOT in July 2024. The vehicle's mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,563 miles per year, suggesting it has been used more extensively than many similar examples. However, the three most recent MOT tests (2022, 2023, and 2024) have all passed with no defects recorded, which is a notable observation for this model.
The MINI ONE D has an average MOT pass rate of 80.6% across 1,330 analysed vehicles, with common failures related to tyres, engine warning lights, and shock absorbers.
