Our Verdict
Approach with caution and budget for immediate tyre and lighting repairs before purchase. This 2011 white MINI Clubman diesel has a mixed MOT record but is currently road legal with a 2025 pass at 82,584 miles.
Before buying AX61BBU, confirm that the 2025 MOT failure items have been properly resolved: the Offside Front tyre was fitted inside-out and the Nearside Front position lamp was not working at the 2025-10-28 test, both cleared on the same-day retest. The 2023 failure required correction of worn front suspension rod pins/bushes and a non-working Nearside Front position lamp, so ask to see receipts for that work and check it was done by a reputable garage.
As a 1995cc diesel registered in 2011, this Clubman will typically fall into a lower road tax band than equivalent petrols, though exact VED should be confirmed with DVLA. Insurance group data is not provided, but a 14-year-old small estate diesel is generally modest to insure. Routine maintenance for the Prince/BMW diesel units includes regular oil and filter changes and periodic belt checks; budget for tyres given the edge wear seen at 82,584 miles.
Inspect the front tyres closely: the 2025 MOT noted Nearside Front worn on the edge and an Offside Front tyre mounted inside-out, so check both are now correctly fitted and legal. Verify all position lamps work, as Nearside Front lamp failures occurred at both the 2023 and 2025 tests.
The vehicle is a 2011 MINI Clubman 2.0-litre diesel first registered in October 2011, now showing 82,584 miles on its latest 2025 MOT. MOT history shows two failures in the last three years (2023 and 2025) plus a clean 2023 pass and a 2024 pass with only minor tyre perishing noted. No aggregate reliability data is available for this model, so assessment rests on the individual history provided.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the MINI Clubman, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's test history.
