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 85% pass rate and 26,344 miles. The car's history shows consistent low annual usage, but the repeated advisory flags for critical safety systems require a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,867 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a significant 2020 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisories (2017, 2018, 2025) and suspension arm advisories (2017, 2018) across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear.
  • Offside Rear Inner Brake pad(s) wearing thin advisory from Nov 2018 was never addressed, a clear red flag for neglect.
  • Nearside Front Tyre had a bulge (separation) in Apr 2022, a dangerous defect that was immediately fixed but shows prior neglect.
  • The 2020 MOT gap suggests a period of off-road use or lack of maintenance, aligning with the recurring advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-14, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age (8,867 miles/year), suggesting careful, light use.
