2014 MINI Clubvan 1.6L Petrol · LS14 FBD

The 2014 MINI Clubvan is roadworthy according to the most recent MOT on 3 June 2026, passing with a single advisory concerning slight play in the off‑side front inner suspension arm ball joint. This marks the first recorded defect after three consecutive clean tests, indicating a generally stable maintenance record with a nascent issue emerging in the front suspension. Mileage has risen from 106,514 mi on 19 March 2022 to 129,148 mi on 3 June 2026, averaging roughly 10,700 mi per year – a figure typical for a vehicle of this age. The annual increments show a modest rise of about 5,000 mi between 2022 and 2024, a slight dip to 3,260 mi in the 2025 cycle, then a sharper increase of 8,950 mi in the latest year. No large gaps or unexplained jumps appear in the record; the mileage progression is consistent with regular use. A prospective buyer should give the front suspension a close visual and functional check, paying particular attention to the ball joint that was flagged for play. Verify that the joint is free of excessive movement and that surrounding bushings and coil springs show no signs of corrosion or cracking. Inspect the tyres for tread depth and uniform wear, especially since the near‑side front tyre was close to the legal limit in 2022. Although brakes have not been recorded as faulty, a road test should confirm that the discs and calipers operate without binding and that pad thickness remains within safe limits. Finally, examine the chassis for any rust or damage around the suspension mounting points, as structural integrity is not reflected in the MOT data but can affect long‑term reliability.
