United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. This covers cars DVLA records under this version’s name only; the Leyland Cars Mini page covers every version. How we use engine sizes.

Leyland Cars Mini MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Leyland Cars Minis in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. DVSA names the model, not the version, so no separate figures exist for the 1275 GT.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately, from 2007.
  • This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “MINI 1275 GT”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
  • Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the most licensed at any year end since 1994, plus any first registered after that year. Other versions are those of the same model whose licensed count peaked in the same years, up to 2001.
