How many MINI Ones are left in Great Britain?

There were 110,104 MINI Ones licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 13,229 declared off the road (SORN). That is 33.0% fewer than the peak of 164,249 in 2017.

MINI One MOT reliability

In 2025, 78.7% of MINI One MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the MINI Ones tested pass 72.6% of the time, so the MINI One does better than average for its age, by 6.1 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 79.2%.

MINI One MOT failures

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment is the most common reason a MINI One fails its MOT, appearing on 37.2% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 5.5% of MINI One tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

Most common MINI One MOT defects and advisories

The single most common reason a MINI One failed its MOT in 2025 was “Position lamp: not working”, on 13.8% of 11,117 failed tests. 46.4% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

MINI One by year

13 years of the MINI One, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2014 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (78.6% passed first time) and the 2021 cars worst (87.5%).

MINI One engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 116,102 MINI Ones licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 54.4% have an engine of 1,501cc to 1,600cc, and 20.4% have an engine of 1,101cc to 1,200cc. The share with an engine of 1,501cc to 1,600cc has fallen from 72.8% in 2014 to 54.4%.

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. How we use engine sizes.

MINI One fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the MINI One from 2002 to 2018. On the NEDC test (listings 2002 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 36.7 to 83.1 mpg, with CO2 of 89 to 187 g/km.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• VCA’s data has no MINI versions for 2019 to 2024, so the years listed may leave out years the MINI One was on sale.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “MINI 3-door Hatchback F56, From March 2014”, “MINI Hatchback R56”, “MINI R50 / R53”, “3-door Hatchback F56, From March 2014”. How we use VCA’s figures.

MINI One safety recalls

We found no recalls for the MINI One in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every MINI One. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
