How the MINI Mini Cooper compares

The MINI Mini Cooper has an MOT pass rate of 64.4%, against 77.6% across all MINI vehicles, and 69.4% across every make in the national record. That is 14,251 tests for this model and 13,103,543 for the make, so the comparison rests on the whole national record rather than a sample of it. See what MINI Mini Cooper models fail on.

Figures cover every MINI Mini Cooper in the national MOT record, which includes vehicles since scrapped or exported, so "on record" is not a count of cars on the road. Pass rate counts every recorded MOT test, retests included. Some MOT records describe the same model with extra trim or engine detail attached; where that detail is a recognised trim or drivetrain code, the vehicle is counted under the base model shown here rather than treated as a separate one.
