2015 MINI Clubman 1.5L Petrol · HN65 SYU

The 2015 MINI Clubman holds a valid MOT pass certificate dated 29 January 2026 at 55,538 miles, issued just under five months ago. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but reveals a persistent pattern of neglecting basic consumable items, particularly front tyre condition. The most recent test flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, an advisory that had already appeared in the October 2025 pass and the January 2026 failure just nine days prior. A nearside front side repeater also failed on 20 January 2026, yet the same issue reappeared as an advisory in October 2025, suggesting a minor electrical fault was tolerated rather than properly repaired. No structural, suspension, braking, or emissions failures have been recorded in the past three years, which is reassuring for a vehicle of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low. Covering only 55,538 miles over roughly eleven years equates to approximately 5,049 miles per year, well below the UK average. The record shows a gap of just 11 miles between the 20 January 2026 failure and the 29 January 2026 retest, indicating the car was likely driven directly to and from the test station. Between October 2025 and January 2026 the vehicle covered only 68 miles, pointing to very light or sporadic use during that period. The annual increments between 2023 and 2025 sit between roughly 3,162 and 3,556 miles per year, confirming consistently low mileage rather than a sudden drop. Such light use can preserve mechanical components but also raises the possibility of prolonged standing, which can cause tyre flat-spotting, brake surface corrosion, and dried-out rubber bushes. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and steering geometry. Repeated advisories for inner-edge tyre wear on both front wheels, appearing in October 2024, October 2025, and January 2026, point to possible tracking misalignment or worn suspension bushes and track rod ends. The offside rear tyre advisory for inner sidewall cracking and perishing noted in October 2025 warrants a close check of all four tyres for age-related deterioration, as rubber hardens on vehicles that stand for long periods. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion consistent with light use, and verify the nearside front washer jet and side repeater are fully operational. Underneath, examine the subframe, sills, and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles are not immune to rust if stored in damp conditions.
