This 2012 Mini has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 24,641 miles. This fundamental data inconsistency makes a reliable assessment impossible and raises serious fraud concerns.
The MOT history shows a critical 14-year gap in recorded mileage between 2012 registration and the first recorded test on 2015-11-09, with only 24,641 miles recorded for a 14-year-old vehicle.
Things to check
- Critical 14-year MOT history gap: First recorded test 2015-11-09 at 24,641 miles, but registered Jan 2012.
- Mileage integrity compromised: 24,641 miles recorded on 2015-11-09 for a 14-year-old vehicle is highly suspicious.
- No valid MOT history: The 2015-11-09 test is the first recorded MOT, not a retest, indicating a 14-year gap in official records.
- Unverifiable vehicle history: The 14-year gap in MOT records makes the vehicle's true history and maintenance untraceable.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a high level of safety for its age.
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-15: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, confirming its roadworthiness for the next two years.
- Consistent annual mileage: Once past the 2015-11-09 anomaly, the vehicle shows normal annual usage, averaging 7,221 miles/year.
