MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mini Mini (RL53 FJA) between December 2006 and December 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 23 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (22 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 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: “Front Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”; “Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
