MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Mini Mini (SM08 JBO) between January 2011 and April 2022.

The record contains 12 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 06 April 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 (14 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Lighting (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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 Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn inner (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn rearmost wishbone bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
