MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Mini Mini (SO57 EAF) between December 2010 and February 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 16 February 2026 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (14 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (10 issues), Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 34 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 Anti-roll bar ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded to the extent that control of the vehicle is likely to be adv”; “Offside Rear Inner Entrance/exit door remote control inoperative door handle missing (9.1.1 (d))”.
