2010 MINI ONE Clubman 1.6L Petrol · CE60 YBK

This MINI ONE Clubman passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2025 at 69,433 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded across the last five tests. The absence of any failures or repeated issues suggests a stable maintenance history, though the 2023 double-testing (a failed then passed MOT on consecutive days at identical mileage) is unusual and warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, and structural checks remains consistent, but the lack of advisories in recent tests means no pre-existing concerns were flagged before the last pass. Buyers should confirm whether the double-testing was due to administrative error or genuine oversight, as it could indicate a brief period of neglect or a technical anomaly not captured in the record. The recorded mileage of 69,433 miles over 16 years—approximately 4,340 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either infrequent use or prolonged periods of storage. The gap between tests is regular, with roughly 12-month intervals between MOTs, which aligns with standard practice. However, the near-identical mileage at the 2023 tests (60,531 miles) implies the vehicle may have stood unused for some time before the second attempt. This pattern could point to deferred maintenance rather than active driving, particularly if the double-testing was not due to a genuine mechanical issue. Given the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise suspension components—coil springs, bushes, and dampers—given the vehicle’s age, as these are common wear items that may not always trigger MOT failures until later stages. The brakes, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, though the absence of defects in recent tests suggests they remain functional. Structural integrity is less concerning here, but a thorough examination of wheel arches, sills, and underbody for corrosion is advisable, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or coastal environments. The engine bay and drivetrain should also be inspected for fluid leaks or degraded hoses, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles that have not been regularly serviced.
