Rover MINI: reliability by registration year
1990-2000 · 11 registration years · 8,743 first tests
Registration years
First-attempt MOT results for every MINI registration year with at least 500 first tests in 2025. Pass rates rise with newer cars, so read a year against its neighbours rather than against the top of the table. Years without their own report are listed here with the same figures.
