MOT Analysis

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

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Mini Mini (LR53 BJE) between October 2006 and September 2018.

The record contains 12 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 10 September 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (22 issues), Brakes (16 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 45 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))”; “Offside Rear Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”; “Brake pad(s) wear indicator illuminated (1.1.13 (a) (i))”.
