MOT Analysis

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

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Mini Mini (EM54 OPS) between January 2011 and November 2025.

The record contains 16 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 20 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (11 issues), Suspension (11 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Windscreen (7 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: “Offside Front Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Exhaust emissions likely to be affected by an exhaust leak injector seal leaking (8.2.2.1 (b))”.
