2016 MINI Clubman 1.5L Petrol · MW66 CYV

The 2016 MINI Clubman presents a clean bill of roadworthiness as of its most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 at 51,044 miles, where the tester recorded zero defects. That result caps a five-year run of consecutive passes with no advisories or failures, pointing to a stable and well-maintained vehicle. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged across the entire supplied record. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of light use. Between 2021 and 2025, the car covered roughly 18,500 miles over four years, averaging around 4,600 miles per annum, with the annual increments holding steady between 3,600 and 6,200 miles. The 2024 to 2025 interval saw 3,605 miles added, the lowest annual jump in the record, suggesting the car may have spent extended periods stationary. Low-mileage vehicles of this age can suffer from deteriorated rubber components, dried seals, and surface corrosion simply from lack of use, even when the MOT record stays clean. The absence of any flagged defects across five consecutive tests is unusual and speaks to attentive ownership. Still, a buyer should physically inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the subframes, brake lines, and suspension mounting points, as standing vehicles often develop cosmetic and structural corrosion that MOT testers may not classify as serious. The tyre sidewalls deserve close scrutiny for perishing or flat-spotting caused by prolonged parking, and the brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven surface rust that can develop after only a few days of inactivity. The suspension and drivetrain should be tested on a drive over broken surfaces to confirm no clunks or play have developed in the bushes, drop links, or wishbone joints. Low annual mileage does not eliminate wear on consumable components, and a pre-purchase inspection focusing on rubber bushings, exhaust condition, and fluid condition will give the clearest picture of how this car has been stored and maintained between its regular MOT cycles.
