2017 MINI Clubman 2.0L Diesel · DF67 CGE

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 76,483 miles flagged a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit with uneven wear on the shoulder. This follows a pattern of tyre issues noted in 2024, suggesting the owner may be delaying consumable replacements until they approach failure or exhibit misalignment. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in records between November 2021 and August 2023, during which the car covered roughly 9,000 miles. Since 2023, the usage has accelerated considerably, with over 32,000 miles in just two years. This surge in mileage explains the increased frequency of wear items like the braking system and tyres, which were highlighted by the thin brake pads identified during the 2023 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring edge wear on front tyres across 2024 and 2025 indicates potential issues with ball joints, wisharm bushes, or tracking. The offside rear tyre noted for perishing in 2024 also suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for periods previously, leading to rubber degradation. Given the thin brake pads reported in 2023, the current discs should be checked for scoring or glazing to ensure the braking system has not been compromised by delayed maintenance.
