2022 MINI Cooper Clubman 1.5L Petrol · 2 BAN

The 2022 MINI Cooper Clubman presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, passing on 15 December 2025 at 15,126 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring defects or serious mechanical failures on record. The sole advisory flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, indicating a minor alignment or inflation issue rather than a systemic fault. With only a single advisory in the current test cycle, the vehicle appears to have been kept in reasonable mechanical order by its keeper. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,782 miles per year. This suggests light, short-journey use or extended periods of standing. Such patterns can mask underlying issues; infrequent use may prevent the engine and exhaust reaching optimal operating temperatures regularly, risking moisture build-up in the oil and exhaust system. Equally, tyres and rubber components age regardless of mileage, so a buyer should not assume low wear equals low deterioration. The nearside front tyre advisory is the only flagged item, but its edge wear pattern points toward possible tracking misalignment or incorrect inflation rather than simple neglect. A buyer should inspect the inner and outer tread edges of all four tyres in person, checking for uneven wear that could indicate suspension geometry issues. The offside front tyre and both rears should be examined for similar patterns. Suspension bushes, ball joints, and track rod ends deserve close scrutiny, as uneven tyre wear often originates from worn steering or suspension components. Beyond the tyres, the low-mileage profile warrants a thorough underbody inspection for surface corrosion, particularly on brake lines, subframes, and jacking points where standing moisture can accumulate. Brake discs and pads should be checked for lipping and uneven wear, as infrequent use can lead to disc corrosion and binding calipers. A short test drive at varying speeds will reveal any pulling, vibration, or tracking deviation not captured in the MOT record. Overall, the data suggests a well-maintained vehicle with no alarming trends, but the tyre advisory and low-use pattern justify a careful physical inspection before purchase.
