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 92% pass rate and 17,062 miles. While many issues were resolved, the consistent need for repairs suggests a higher ongoing maintenance burden.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,659 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- Multiple advisories for tyres (Jan 2020, Jan 2025) and exhaust (Jan 2021, Jan 2024) suggest chronic wear.
- Offside Rear Electronic Stability Control (ESC) warning lamp fault (Jan 2024) is a serious safety system failure.
- Offside Rear Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) wiring excessively damaged (Jan 2021) points to poor electrical repair.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,659 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
