LG63 PWL MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 29 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 2 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Front Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements margin (0.1 (d))”; “Driver's view of the road through the swept area of the windscreen significantly affected by an obstruction (3.1 (a) (i”.
Buyer's Guide & Inspection Advisory
Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a patchy MOT history. While the most recent test was clean, the significant number of failures in 2024 suggests that this Mini requires a thorough inspection of its suspension and electrical systems before purchase.
When viewing this Clubman, pay close attention to the driver's seat adjustment mechanism, which previously failed an MOT; ensure it slides and locks securely in all positions. Given the history of light-related failures, test every bulb, including the position lamps and registration plate lights, to ensure the wiring is not becoming brittle or corroded.
Ask the seller for a detailed service history, specifically looking for evidence of suspension work. Since the car suffered a fractured rear coil spring in 2024, you should confirm if both sides were replaced or if the suspension shows signs of premature wear, which is not uncommon on older Minis used on uneven road surfaces.
As a 1.6-litre petrol model, this Clubman sits in a moderate tax bracket, though it is not as efficient as the diesel variants. Expect fuel economy to hover around the low 40s on a combined cycle, depending on your driving style. Insurance groups for the Clubman are generally reasonable, but parts can be pricier than mainstream hatchbacks due to the Mini's premium branding.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted carefully. With over 80,000 miles on the clock, you should set aside a contingency fund for potential wear-and-tear items like brakes, tyres, and suspension bushes. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated to be between £1,400 and £1,700.
Start your inspection by checking the condition of the windscreen and the trim around it, as the vehicle had a note regarding loose trim in 2025. Inspect the rear coil springs for signs of corrosion or snapping, as this was a major failure point in 2024. Ensure the headlamp cleaning system operates correctly, as this was also flagged as a failure previously.
Check the interior for any dampness, particularly around the rear barn-door seals, which can be a weak point on Clubman models. Additionally, verify that all electrical features, including the position lamps, are fully functional, as the car has demonstrated a repetitive issue with minor lighting faults over the last two years.
This 2013 Mini Clubman has covered 83,093 miles, which is broadly average for its age. While it passed its latest MOT in April 2026 with no defects, the vehicle's history shows a concerning spike in failures back in 2024, including a broken coil spring and seat adjustment issues. It is a stylish, practical choice, but potential buyers should account for the possibility of recurring minor electrical faults.
No specific aggregate reliability data is available for this generation of Mini Clubman, though older petrol Minis of this era are known to require diligent maintenance to avoid electrical and suspension issues.
