MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Mini Mini (RA53 LCP) between May 2024 and August 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Fuel tank insecure support strap corroded through (6.1.3 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp has a product on the light source so that the light output is severely reduced (4.1.4 (b))”; “Offside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”.
