About MINI MOTs

MINIs are fun to drive but their BMW-derived complexity can lead to higher maintenance. Typical MOT failures involve suspension wear (due to the stiff, go-kart-like setup) and tyre conditions.

Checking the MOT history of a MINI before buying can reveal recurring advisories, recorded mileage changes and signs that the vehicle may need maintenance.
