2015 MINI Clubman 1.5L Petrol · BD65 HXH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the history reveals a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 31 July 2025 at 74,936 miles failed due to structural damage to both rear tyres. Specifically, the nearside rear tyre suffered a tear from separation while the offside rear tyre showed exposed cords. While the car passed the re-test on the same day, the failure indicates that critical safety components were overlooked until the annual inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The data shows steady usage over time, with 12,029 miles covered between October 2022 and October 2023, and another 5,398 miles between August 2024 and July 2025. This low annual mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components, such as bushes and brake lines, if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and alignment, following the advisory from October 2023 at 69,601 miles where the offside front tyre was worn uneven on the edge. This often points to tracking geometry issues or worn suspension bushes that could prematurely ruin new rubber. Given the structural tyre failures in 2025, a physical inspection of the wheel arches and inner wingwork is necessary to ensure the damage was not caused by mechanical interference or friction from failing components. No structural corrosion or brake issues have been flagged, but the recurring tyre-related faults suggest the owner only addresses defects when forced by a tester.
