MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Mini Mini (GY55 WCV) between September 2007 and December 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 20 December 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (18 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 31 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 Inner Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”.
