2018 MINI Clubman 1.5L Petrol · BE10 MAY

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a declining trend in maintenance standards, culminating in a failure during the July 2025 test at 76,739 miles. While the car passed after addressing a non-functional nearside rear direction indicator, the tester flagged significant wear to the rear braking system, specifically noting very low brake pads and worn discs. This follows a clean pass in June 2024 at 64,999 miles, suggesting that mechanical upkeep has lapsed in the most recent twelve-month period. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 28,030 miles in April 2021 to the current 76,739 miles in July 2025. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes, which suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commuting or general transit. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The history reveals recurring issues with brake pad thickness, with failures noted in both July 2025 and July 2022. Given the recent advisory regarding worn discs, the rear calipers and rotors require close examination to ensure they are not binding or excessively pitted. The 2023 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge may also indicate underlying suspension geometry issues or incorrect camber, so checking the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres is advisable. General consumables such as windscreen wipers and lighting aim have appeared as intermittent failure points in previous years. While these are minor, the recent shift from a clean 2024 record to significant brake wear in 2025 implies the current owner may be reactive rather than proactive with servicing. A physical check of the service history should confirm if these braking components were replaced following the most recent failure.
