This 2012 Mini has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 13,635 miles. The low annual mileage for its age is a significant concern, suggesting long periods of inactivity that can negatively impact vehicle health.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,757 miles per year, with a significant 4-year gap (2017-2021) where no MOT tests were recorded, indicating prolonged inactivity.
Things to check
- MOT history shows 4 failures with no defect details, indicating unresolved safety issues.
- Recurring position lamp advisory (2016, 2016) suggests a persistent electrical fault.
- Recurring front tyre advisories (2016, 2016) indicate a history of worn tyres.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,757 mi/yr) for a 2012 car is a major red flag for long-term inactivity.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-14, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) indicates a well-designed vehicle.
