MINI CLUBMAN2020 · 1.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 resulted in a pass at 37 412 miles, with only an advisory note that the off‑side rear tyre is slightly damaged, cracking or perishing and shows uneven wear stepping. Across the history the same off‑side rear tyre has been flagged repeatedly: it appeared as a defect in the February 2025 pass, as part of the failure in March 2026 (uneven wear stepping) and again as an advisory in the latest pass. A nearside rear tyre suffered a deep cut that caused the March 2026 failure, and the front tyres were below tread limit in the March 2024 failure. The only non‑tyre issues recorded were a defective off‑side front wiper blade in February 2025 and a damaged off‑side rear reflector (advisory) at the same time. The trend shows that after the March 2026 failure the vehicle passed the following test, but the same tyre condition remains as an advisory rather than a defect. This suggests the immediate safety‑critical problem (the deep cut) has been addressed, while underlying wear or damage to the off‑side rear tyre persists. Overall the condition appears stable rather than clearly worsening or improving. At 37 412 miles the car is about six years old, averaging roughly 6 200 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The mileage does not indicate unusually high or low use, so wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension is likely to be in line with normal expectations rather than accelerated by extreme mileage. For a buyer, the priority checks should be: examine all four tyres for tread depth, sidewall cracks, cuts or uneven wear, paying particular attention to the off‑side rear tyre; verify that any previously damaged tyre has been properly repaired or replaced; test the front and rear wipers for correct operation; check the rear reflector and all lights for security and function; and, if possible, have the suspension and brakes inspected for any associated wear that could accompany tyre issues.
