2017 MINI Clubman 1.5L Petrol · R111 AAF

The vehicle maintains a stable and largely clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 36,775 miles resulting in a pass. While the car is currently compliant, the tester identified the offside front tyre as worn close to the legal limit. This advisory indicates that the current owner has likely deferred a necessary replacement, suggesting a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Aside from this minor consumable issue, the vehicle has successfully cleared every annual inspection since 2022 without structural or mechanical failures. The recorded mileage of 36,775 over nine years averages approximately 4,086 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the typical usage profile for a vehicle of this class. The consistent, incremental mileage accumulation across the provided MOT dates suggests the car has seen regular but light use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This steady usage pattern is generally preferable to long-term storage, as it helps prevent the premature degradation of seals, gaskets, and electrical connectors that often occurs in vehicles left standing for months at a time. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front tyres, as the recent advisory confirms the need for immediate replacement. Because the vehicle has a history of clean passes, focus your physical assessment on components that typically suffer from age-related fatigue rather than high-mileage wear. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these components often deteriorate on low-mileage cars due to environmental exposure rather than road use. Verify that the windscreen wipers operate smoothly across the full arc, as the 2023 failure for poor clearing suggests the wiper motor or blades may be prone to sticking if not maintained.
