Likely possibilities in roughly ascending order of likelihood:
- Different hardware capable of different speeds (look up serial numbers
to see what the wireless cards are, then google/wikipedia them to see
what standard they use)
- random fluctuation in DSL based on local use (run 10 tests, see what
happens)
- background activity (eg dropbox) hogging the connection (it shares it
with the test) on one machine
Diagnostics is not the same as solutions. Is it presenting an actual
problem? If so, a wired connection (ethernet) would be the obvious
suggestion.

No, ran one and then the other. Mini is older than the Macbook (not
sure of
heritage bought off eBay). Mini running Logic Pro X and Safari,
Macbook
running Chrome, Bear and a few utilities. Oh, DropBox as well.

were they running at the same time? Could simply be that one began an
upload just before the other and hogged the bandwidth.
You'd need to have all other things shut off (and plenty of
background
apps use the net) and run a series of tests to get anything worth
looking
into. Could easily be the other way round next time. There's a small
possibility of different hardware having bigger capacity but I think
that's
been stable for quite a long time (you don't say how old they are).

I've got a Macbook and a Mac Mini, both running High Sierra. They sit
within about a foot of each other.
I just ran the Google Broadband Speed Test and got the following.
Office wireless (MacBook)
Down - 14.2Mbps
Up - 3.24Mbps
Office wireless (Mac Mini)
Down - 33.9Mbps
Up - 28.7Mbps
I wonder why there was such a difference?
