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 2003 Mini Mini (MW52 UBZ) between January 2006 and June 2022.

The record contains 17 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 11 June 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 (17 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Supplementary Restraint System warning lamp indicates a fault (5.4.2)”; “Nearside Front position lamp(s) not working (1.1.A.3b)”; “Brake pedal anti-slip provision missing (3.3.A.1b)”.
