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 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 12,630 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly and a recurring tyre advisory warrant careful investigation.
The mileage trajectory shows a suspiciously low 410 miles/year before Feb 2022, followed by a significant drop to 1,434 miles/year between Feb 2022 and Jun 2022, indicating a major usage change or potential data error.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low 410 miles/year recorded before Feb 2022, then 1,434 miles/year between Feb 2022 and Jun 2022.
- Recurring tyre advisories: Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit (Nov 2021) and Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (Jun 2024).
- Head gasket and timing chain: Community-reported high-risk issues for this MINI model.
Working in its favour
- Perfect MOT pass record: 8 consecutive passes with no failures recorded since 2015.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until 13 August 2026, offering peace of mind for over a year.
- No dangerous defects: No DANGEROUS-rated defects found in the MOT history.
- Consistent recent mileage: Steady annual mileage of 4,000-5,000 miles since 2023.
