MOT Analysis

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

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mini Mini (YO04 BYG) between February 2008 and May 2016.

The record contains 9 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 05 May 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 6 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 Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)”; “Offside Front Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”.
