2015 MINI Clubman 1.5L Petrol · AP65 CDV

The 2015 MINI Clubman presents a stable and largely positive maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 21 October 2025 at 61,302 miles. The tester flagged only minor wear items on that most recent test: the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm pins or bushes were worn but had not yet developed excessive movement. This is a typical advisory for a vehicle of this age and mileage, indicating the suspension components are approaching the end of their serviceable life but remain functional and safe. The record shows no recurring failures, no corrosion issues, and no braking or emissions defects, all of which point to a vehicle that has been kept in reasonable mechanical order. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,573 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 49,132 miles and October 2023 at 53,074 miles, the car covered roughly 3,942 miles in twelve months, and from October 2023 to October 2024 it added a further 3,298 miles. The jump from the October 2024 test at 56,372 miles to the October 2025 test at 61,302 miles represents 4,930 miles in just under twelve months, a slight uptick but still well within the low-mileage profile. The MOT record is complete with no gaps, and the annual testing pattern is consistent, suggesting the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their in-person inspection on the front suspension components, given the repeated advisory for worn lower suspension arm bushes on the most recent test. While the tester confirmed no excessive movement at 61,302 miles, these bushes will deteriorate further and replacement should be budgeted for in the near term. The October 2024 failure for a cut to the offside front tyre also warrants attention; a buyer should check the age, condition, and brand match of all four tyres, as uneven wear or mismatched rubber can indicate alignment issues or neglected rotation. The windscreen damage noted in October 2024 did not recur as a defect in 2025, suggesting it may have been repaired, but the chip or crack should still be physically verified. Beyond the flagged items, a thorough inspection of the underside for corrosion is advisable, particularly around the subframes, suspension mounting points, and brake lines, as these are common deterioration points on MINIs of this generation. The braking system has not appeared as a defect in any recorded test, but a test drive should confirm that the handbrake holds firm on a gradient and that the pedal feel is firm with no pulling to one side. The clean emissions results across multiple tests suggest the engine and exhaust system are in good health, though a cold-start check for excessive smoke or unusual ticking noises would provide further reassurance. Overall, this is a well-maintained, low-mileage example with no serious structural or mechanical red flags in its history.
