2018 MINI Clubman 2.0L Diesel · DP67 PZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection in May 2026 indicates a shift from its previously clean record. While the car passed its last three tests without defects, the latest MOT at 28,112 miles flagged multiple advisories related to all four tyres. This suggests that while the mechanical components have remained stable, there is a developing neglect regarding basic consumable upkeep as the vehicle ages, despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2022 and May 2023, where the car covered only 2,715 miles in fourteen months, followed by a sharper increase of 2,977 miles between 2023 and 2026. This low-frequency use often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to dry rot, which aligns with the perishing and cracking noted in the most recent test. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyre set, as the 2026 record highlights perishing and damage across both axles, along with uneven wear on the front pair. These issues often indicate incorrect alignment or age-related rubber failure. Because the car has sat for long periods, the inspector should also check the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers and examine the suspension bushes for cracking, which are common failure points on low-mileage vehicles that are not driven regularly.
