MINI MOT pass rates
MINI MOT pass rates, ranked across 53 models and 2,574,717 DVSA MOT tests between 2001 and 2023, from the Countryman (90.3%) to the Mini (76.0%). The tables below compare every model with enough tests to rank, list the most-tested models, and link to each model's own pass-rate and fault pages.
How MINI models compare on the MOT
The spread across MINI models is wide — 90.3% for the Countryman at the top and 76.0% for the Mini at the bottom, a 14.3-point gap across 290,300 and 1,024,301 recorded tests respectively. Most MINI models sit much closer to the middle (around 83.1%, on 5,454 tests for the First). The best and worst are both real DVSA results, not opinions: the pass rate is the share of every completed MOT test for that model that ended in a pass.
Every figure above is drawn from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records for the 2001–2023 data years: 2,574,717 tests across 53 MINI models. A pass rate counts every completed test — first attempt and retests — so the figures above include a van or motorhome being tested twice in one year. The first-time pass figures on each model page are lower as a result. See the methodology page for exactly how each rate is calculated and how the DVSA source data is filtered.

Reading the numbers
A pass rate covers every completed test recorded for that model and year, including retests. First-attempt figures are lower. See how we calculate.
