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 17 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 16,117 miles. The recent MOT pass in Jan 2026 still carries advisories for tyres and a registration plate lamp.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage, averaging only 4,771 miles per year, with a significant drop to 1,176 miles between Oct 2024 and Jan 2026.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 11 tests (Jun 2019, Jul 2022, Jul 2023, Aug 2024) indicate persistent wear.
- Recurring brake disc advisories across 3 tests (Jun 2019, Jul 2023, Jul 2024) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- The Jan 2026 MOT pass still carries advisories for tyres and a registration plate lamp, indicating immediate costs.
- The 2015-05-20 MOT failure for headlamp aim too low, combined with recurring light issues, points to electrical system wear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,771 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
