Go to OneInspections by country and age
This table shows, per age, how many cars of this model fail inspection, by country. An index of 100 is that country's average for that age.
| Age | Netherlands | United Kingdom | Czechia | Ireland | NO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9-11 years | 31.5% failed (3181 of 10085) | 20.5% failed (4910 of 24013) | No data | 32.7% failed (225 of 689) | 34.9% failed (73 of 209) |
| 12-14 years | 42.3% failed (4154 of 9832) | 30% failed (2314 of 7703) | No data | 47% failed (434 of 924) | 59% failed (206 of 349) |
| 15-19 years | 49.5% failed (6344 of 12819) | No data | No data | 70.9% failed (714 of 1007) | Too few inspections |
| 20-24 years | 54.4% failed (2633 of 4836) | No data | No data | No data | No data |
Czechia only counts serious defects, severity B or C. The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Norway count every inspection with a real defect.
Finland is not in this table. Finland counts defect points, not cars with a defect.

Which defects are found most often at inspection for a Mini One?
Official inspection point: Braking equipment. Note: these are fail items, not tests. One car can fail on several items in the same test. This figure can therefore be higher than the share of cars that failed. 302 fail items across 539 Irish inspection data, age 20-24 yr. Irish inspection data, data up to and including 31/12/2025. More age groups and categories are available in the inspection statistics on this page.
Where does this data come from?
CZ STK (data up to and including 03/07/2026), DVSA MOT-statistiek (data up to and including 2025), Dutch inspection data (data up to and including 20/09/2026), Norwegian inspection data (data up to and including 31/12/2025), Irish inspection data (data up to and including 31/12/2025).
