MINI CLUBMAN2018 · 1.5L Petrol

The 2018 MINI Clubman remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the 11 February 2026 MOT at 33,777 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Across five successive DVSA tests from 13 May 2022 to February 2026, examiners issued zero advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. This unbroken clean record signals disciplined statutory compliance by previous keepers. Odometer readings reveal restrained use for an eight-year-old estate. The car showed 18,282 miles at the May 2022 test, rising to 21,225 miles on 28 February 2023, 24,978 miles on 14 February 2024, 28,676 miles on 7 February 2025, and 33,777 miles at the latest examination. Annual accumulation averages near 4,200 miles with no abrupt surges or lengthy lapses beyond a slightly deferred 2022 booking. Such low mileage suggests light urban commuting or prolonged storage, yet the regular test rhythm implies the owner valued mechanical oversight. Despite the absence of logged faults, a buyer should physically verify components vulnerable to age and inactivity rather than high-mileage wear. Low-running vehicles often develop perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and superficial corrosion on chassis legs despite clear MOTs. The tester flagged no binding calipers or coil spring fractures, but calipers can seize through standing; we recommend measuring disc lip and inspecting subframe mounts on a ramp. A pre-purchase check must also probe door sills, rear arch structures, and exhaust hangers for environmental rust given the car's 2018 build date. Prior certificates noted no structural advisories, yet salt exposure can compromise these hidden areas. Prudent inspection of steering rack gaiters and driveshaft joints will confirm the clean history translates to present roadworthiness.
