2010 MINI CLUBMAN1.6L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 May 2026, but this followed a failure just six days earlier due to service brake efficiency falling below legal requirements. There is a concerning and recurring pattern of neglect regarding the braking system. Brake discs and pads have been flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in every MOT record since 2023. The fact that these advisories persisted for years before resulting in a safety failure suggests a lack of preventative maintenance. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. In addition to the brake issues, the 2024 inspection identified corrosion on both the main and rear sub-frames, as well as play in both steering rack inner joints. The 2025 record also showed three tyres worn close to the legal limit, further indicating a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. The recorded mileage is low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,349 miles per year. This low usage, combined with the repeated mentions of pitted and scored brake discs, strongly suggests the car has suffered from long periods of standing. Vehicles that sit idle are more prone to brake oxidation and the type of sub-frame corrosion noted in the history.
