I let the side down last year..... I was one of the 17 1970 minis that failed on brakes, due to seized rear quadrants.... should have checked before I went and the first time its failed on this since I have owned the car... I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

isnt that becuase earlier minis dont have to go through the same checks to be legal as per the year of manufacturing?

Not a lot of differences so far as I'm aware, just things like emissions standards and later safety features (ie, seat belts, reversing lights etc) but the fundamentals of structure, brakes, steering etc. I think are all the same whatever the year. Look in detail at the spreadsheet and most of the failures are on suspension (which presumably includes ball joints, rear radius arm pins etc.) with brakes a close second... EDIT, actually lighting and signalling second, brakes third (although very close to lighting) but suspension the most failures by far. Edited by Rod S on 13th Jan, 2010.

Fascinating... The earlier ones (say pre '75) do much better than 50% but presumably that's because ones that old are properly looked after. It could be 'cos most of them are relatively new MPi cars with a dodgy V5 ready for export to USofA! |

Mine has passed every MOT since I bought it in 2005, the last two times the bloke put it on the ramps, swore at me and told me to stop wasting his time On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

I account for one of the 1990 Minis which failed and one of the 1992 Audi 80s! I never seem to pass an MOT first time. |
