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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 20,927 miles. However, a pattern of recurring minor failures and advisories, particularly on tyres and brakes, indicates a need for thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,322 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2025) suggest chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 3 tests (2016, 2017, 2022) point to ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Recurring position lamp advisories across 3 tests (2017, 2018, 2025) indicate a persistent electrical issue.
  • Failed MOT on 2017-11-30 for headlamp aim, though immediately rectified.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until October 2026, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (4,322 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
