MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Mini Mini (DN55 CYL) between October 2022 and September 2025.

The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 23 September 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (9 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 23 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 at imminent risk of failure or fracture (1.1.11 (a))”; “Brake pedal has insufficient reserve travel (1.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.
