MOT Analysis

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

16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Mini Mini (SM12 CLY) between April 2015 and September 2026.

The record contains 12 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 16 September 2026 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: Lighting (7 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 26 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 Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases Flexi section. (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.
