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 2001 Mini Mini (MA51 TVF) between December 2005 and November 2021.

The record contains 16 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 29 November 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (34 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 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 Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”; “Front passenger door cannot be opened from outside the vehicle (6.2.3 (a))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded front to rear (1.1.11 (c))”.
