AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2011 Mini Clubman passed its most recent MOT on 2 April 2026 at 52,664 miles with only an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the edge flagged as an advisory. The maintenance trend shows a resolving pattern after a failed test in April 2025, with the current roadworthiness status acceptable but requiring prompt tyre attention. The earlier failure involved a nearside front position lamp, thin front brake pads, and pitted rear brake discs, all since rectified and not repeated in the latest test. Recorded mileage sits at 52,664 against an April 2026 test, equating to roughly 3,511 miles per year over fifteen years of use. The car covered just 3,140 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, then 4,900 miles to April 2025, and 3,140 miles to April 2026. This low and fairly steady annual accumulation suggests light use, likely with periods of standing, though the sparse defect history outside the 2025 failure indicates the previous keeper addressed issues when forced rather than proactively. The clean 2023 and 2025 pass records, aside from the failure retest on the same day in 2025, show no major structural or emissions concerns. A buyer should inspect the offside front tyre edge wear in person, as the April 2026 advisory implies alignment or cornering habits stressing that shoulder. The recurring thin front brake pads across the April 2024 pass and April 2025 failure point to consumable neglect rather than caliper fault, but the rear discs pitted in 2025 warrant a check for corrosion or binding calipers now resolved. No suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural integrity defects appear in the record, yet standing periods common at this mileage can hide underbody corrosion not caught in a pass. Verify the 2025 lamp and brake work with invoices to confirm proper rectification.

Our Verdict

This 2011 white MINI Clubman is a reasonable buy for a low-mileage petrol hatch, but the April 2025 MOT failure shows deferred maintenance that must be verified as fixed. Proceed only with proof the brake and lighting defects were properly repaired and a fresh inspection.

Ask the seller for the April 2025 MOT re-test paperwork and any invoices proving the front brake pads, rear brake discs and nearside front position lamp were replaced or repaired, since the failure and same-day pass suggest work was done quickly. A service history confirming regular oil changes and cambelt/chain checks on the 1598cc petrol unit will support the low 52,664-mile reading and help justify the price.

The 1598cc petrol engine in this March 2011 Clubman typically returns 40-45 mpg in mixed driving, keeping weekly fuel costs modest for a small car. Road tax for this era of MINI is usually in the £200-£250 per year band, and insurance groups for the 1.6 petrol Clubman sit around 15-20, making premiums reasonable for most drivers.

On viewing, confirm the nearside front position lamp works and inspect the rear brake discs for any remaining pitting or scoring from the 2025 failure, as the same-day pass should mean new parts but verify visually. Check the offside front tyre edge wear flagged at the April 2026 test and look for uneven front suspension wear that could cause it.

The vehicle shows 52,664 miles on its April 2026 MOT, which is low for a 15-year-old car and suggests gentle use. Its MOT history includes one failure in April 2025 for worn brake pads, scored rear discs and a non-working nearside front lamp, though it passed later the same day after rectification. Earlier tests in 2023 and 2024 passed with only an advisory for thinning front pads, and the most recent test noted a worn offside front tyre edge. No aggregate reliability data is available for the MINI Clubman, so assessment rests on this individual record.
