This 2012 Mini has 12 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 14,992 miles. While it has a history of minor advisories and a known timing chain issue, the recent clean record makes it a viable purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,652 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage from 2019 to 2022 (e.g., +1,999 miles from Feb 2020 to Mar 2021).

Things to check

Working in its favour

  • Consistent low annual mileage (4,652 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No dangerous defects or major recurring failures found in the MOT history.
  • Recent clean MOT pass in Feb 2026 with no advisories, indicating good current condition.
