AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Mini has 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 28,834 miles. The mileage is low and consistent, but the repeated advisories suggest deferred maintenance.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,408 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low of 4,477 miles in 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on brakes (Feb 2022, Mar 2026) and tyres (Feb 2022, Mar 2026) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Multiple tyre advisories (Feb 2022, Mar 2026) suggest a history of poor maintenance or alignment issues.
  • Brake disc and pad advisories (Feb 2022, Mar 2026) point to a pattern of neglect on critical safety components.
  • The 2016-03-04 retest after a tyre pressure monitoring system failure (36,766 mi) is a minor concern.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, demonstrating a generally sound mechanical history.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,408 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • The most recent MOT (Mar 2026) is valid until 2027-03-19, offering peace of mind for over a year.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a well-designed and safe vehicle.
