MOT Analysis

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

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Mini Mini (RJ52 BAV) between November 2005 and November 2025.

The record contains 22 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (28 issues), Lighting (28 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 46 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: “Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Offside Rear Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”.
