MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mini Mini (ML54 HVD) between October 2007 and July 2025.

The record contains 19 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 21 July 2025 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: Tyres (17 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Windscreen (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 50 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 Rear Brake cable damaged HANDBRAKE CABLE BROKEN (1.1.15 (a))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded FRONT TO REAR (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”.
