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 2005 Mini Mini (FP55 RUU) between October 2008 and January 2022.

The record contains 13 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 13 January 2022 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: Brakes (19 issues), Suspension (16 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Bodywork (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 61 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: “Nearside Subframe mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength (5.3.6 (a) (i”; “Nearside Rear Parking brake inoperative on one side working but performance is low (1.4.1 (a))”; “Brake lever has insufficient reserve travel (1.1.2 (a))”.
