MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Mini Mini (SY52 COJ) between January 2006 and March 2017.

The record contains 12 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 14 March 2017 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 (28 issues), Lighting (22 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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: “Offside Rear Brake pipe inadequately clipped (3.6.B.1)”; “Offside Front Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (2.7.3)”; “Central Rear Brake pipe inadequately supported sitting on handbrake cables (3.6.B.1)”.
