2020 MINI Clubman 2.0L Petrol · KM70 BUU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in March 2026, but only after failing the day before due to both front tyres being below the legal limit and ineffective windscreen wipers. There is a persistent and concerning pattern of neglect regarding the front tyres. Advisories for worn front tyres were recorded as far back as October 2023 and again in March 2025, yet these were ignored until the tyres officially failed the MOT in March 2026. The maintenance trend is worsening. The owner consistently disregarded safety warnings about tyre tread and rubber degradation for nearly three years, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle upkeep. The mileage is very low for a six-year-old car, averaging roughly 3,549 miles per year. While this implies low mechanical wear on the drivetrain, the 2025 MOT note regarding perishing tyres suggests the car may have spent long periods standing. Low-use vehicles often suffer from rubber components drying out and cracking due to age rather than wear. A buyer should first inspect the current condition and brand of the front tyres to ensure they were replaced with quality rubber rather than the cheapest possible option. Closely examine all other rubber components, including windscreen wiper blades and suspension bushings, for signs of perishing or cracking caused by under-use.
