MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mini Mini (DE04 BWG) between February 2007 and December 2018.

The record contains 13 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 18 December 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (27 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Lighting (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Rear Service brake excessively binding both (1.2.1 (f))”; “Seat belt missing no access to rear seat belts (7.1.2 (a))”.
