MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mini Mini (SO04 BWC) between April 2007 and November 2024.

The record contains 18 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 22 November 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (30 issues), Lighting (18 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 63 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 Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Wheel bearing has excessive play (5.1.3 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Headlamp aim too low (1.8)”.
