MORRIS MINOR's have a extremely good reliability rating of 793/999. The score was calculated from the average of every MORRIS MINOR that has had a registered MOT.
We calculated all of the below figures by getting the score from each vehicle make/model/year/fuel, which are each calculated a score. We then generate the average score, taking into account factors such as mileage and emissions.

Common MORRIS MINOR MOT problems
Based on 82 MOT tests from 11 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore®. That sample is too small to describe recurring problems, so this page does not list model-specific faults.
MORRIS MINOR MOT reliability by year
A model year is only commented on when VehicleScore® has at least 5 vehicles from that year.
Not enough VehicleScore® data for year-by-year conclusions.
Buying a MORRIS MINOR?
Common problems tell you what can affect MORRIS MINORs generally. VehicleScore® can check the history of the actual car you're considering.
Where does this data come from?
VehicleScore® analyses MOT histories from vehicles in its own dataset. Sample sizes vary by model, and a small sample is labelled as such. MOT data records roadworthiness and inspection defects. It does not capture every mechanical or electronic problem a car can have, and a comment on one test is not proof that the model has an inherent fault.
