MOT Analysis

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

38 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Rover Mini (X896 DBA) between September 2005 and August 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 17 failures.

The most recent test on 17 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 17 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (39 issues), Suspension (23 issues), Tyres (20 issues), Brakes (18 issues), Steering (12 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 80 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: “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Emissions unable to be completed misfire/poor running/cutting out at idle (8.2.1.2 (d))”.
