2011 MINI Clubman 1.6L Petrol · FG11 WHH

The most recent MOT (17 Mar 2026) was a pass, but it flagged the off‑side front and rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and the rear tyre showing edge cracking. Those are the only items recorded this year. Across the last three years the car has shown a recurring pattern of tyre and wheel wear – off‑side front wheel distortion appears in both 2024 and 2026 entries, and tyre condition has been a constant concern. Brake‑related faults (imbalanced front brakes, service‑brake lag and binding) were noted in 2024 but have not re‑appeared in the latest test, suggesting they may have been addressed. Safety‑related failures (missing seat‑belt buckle, non‑working front position lamp, bonnet latch failures, and SRS warning lamp faults) were recorded in 2025 and early 2024, but none were listed in the 2026 pass, indicating some remedial work was done. The trend is mixed: tyre wear and wheel distortion persist, while earlier brake and safety issues have been cleared. Overall the condition appears stable rather than deteriorating, but the tyre wear is now at the point where replacement is imminent. Mileage of 113,978 mi on a 2011 model works out to about 7,600 mi per year – essentially average for a vehicle of this age. It does not point to heavy abuse, nor does it suggest long periods of inactivity; wear on consumables should be considered typical for the age. For a buyer, the first checks should be: - Inspect all four tyres for tread depth, sidewall condition and any bulges or cracking; replace if below 1.6 mm or showing structural damage.
