MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Mini Mini (LK08 VBZ) between April 2011 and February 2026.

The record contains 16 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 04 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

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

In total 10 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: “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”; “Rear Exhaust silencer insecure (8.1.1 (b) (i))”; “Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”.
