2016 MINI Clubman 2.0L Diesel · CT16 EKM

The 2016 MINI Clubman exhibits a highly stable maintenance trend, though its most recent MOT test occurred over a year ago on 19 March 2025 at 118,263 miles. The tester flagged zero defects or advisories during that assessment, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards across its critical systems at that time. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner addressed wear items promptly, maintaining the car in sound mechanical condition right up to its current mileage. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the February 2022 test at 84,384 miles and the February 2023 test at 96,146 miles, the Clubman covered roughly 11,762 miles. The subsequent year saw a similar accumulation of 11,838 miles, reaching 109,984 miles by March 2024. The final recorded interval shows a slight reduction in annual use, adding 8,279 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. A failed test on 26 March 2024 at 109,982 miles shows no defects recorded, likely representing an aborted test or a procedural failure, given the immediate clean pass recorded the following day at 109,984 miles. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a physical inspection remains essential for a MINI Clubman approaching 120,000 miles, particularly as the MOT is now overdue. Buyers should scrutinise the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components endure significant stress over typical road surfaces and often deteriorate without triggering an MOT failure until severely worn. The braking system requires close attention; check the brake discs for lipping and the calipers for any signs of binding, a common issue in the MINI range. Examine the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion, paying close attention to the structural integrity of the sills and subframes. Verify the condition of the drivetrain by inspecting the CV joints and gear oil, ensuring no excessive play or leaks are present.
