How we estimate prices and check cars

Price

Far below the going rate: £1,063 (41%) under the AskCar estimate of £2,558. Worth asking the dealer why.

The AskCar estimate is our expected asking price for this car. It uses UK dealer asking prices, accounting for make, model, trim, version, age, mileage, fuel, gearbox, body type, driven wheels, engine size and power. It is an advertised price, not a confirmed sale price.

It draws on 5,357 priced MINI Hatch adverts across different ages and specifications, as of 2 November 2026.

A 2012 MINI Hatch with the 1.6 petrol engine is typically advertised at £4,000: the median of the 74 for sale on AskCar, as of 2 November 2026.

Time on sale

This 2012 MINI Hatch has been on sale for at least 158 days.

Price history

AskCar first saw this advert on 28 May 2026 at £1,495. Its asking price has not changed.

Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 2 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 18 March 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It failed its MOT on 19 March 2025 (nearside front tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm) and passed later the same day.

Advisories at the latest test: nearside front shock absorbers has light misting of oil.

Mileage at that test: 139,254 miles. The advert says 130,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 52,800 miles higher than the median mileage of a 2012 MINI Hatch on AskCar.
