2016 MINI Clubman 1.5L Petrol · RF16 WNP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on June 9, 2026, 71,035 miles. The maintenance trend shows a slight decline in mechanical condition over the last two years. While the car achieved clean records in 2022 and 2023, the two most recent tests identified developing faults related to the suspension and braking systems, suggesting the vehicle is now entering a phase where aging components require more proactive attention. At 71,035 miles over ten years, the MINI Clubman averages approximately 7,100 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the July 2025 and June 2026 tests, and approximately 6,700 miles in the year preceding that. This regularity suggests the car undergoes regular use rather than long periods of standing, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seal surfaces despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer should focus their inspection on the wheels, as the nearside front and rear road wheels were flagged as slightly distorted in both 2024 and 2025. This recurring issue often indicates significant impact from potholes or curbs, which can lead to vibrations or uneven tyre wear. Furthermore, the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage was noted as damaged in 2025; while likely replaced or adjusted since, the remaining suspension bushings and linkages should be checked for signs of play or wear-related stress. The most recent test also highlighted slight corrosion on the metal ferrules of both the offside and nearside rear brake hoses. While these are currently minor advisories, corrosion on brake lines can eventually lead to structural failure or fluid leaks. A physical inspection should verify these hoses for any signs of bulging, cracking, or deep pitting to ensure the braking system remains secure beyond the next service interval.
