2015 MINI Clubman 1.5L Petrol · RF65 UTG

The 2015 MINI Clubman holds a current MOT valid until 24 September 2026, having passed its most recent test at 109,587 miles on the same date in 2025. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but shows a pattern of recurring minor advisories rather than serious mechanical failures. In the September 2025 test the tester flagged worn front suspension arm rear bushes on both sides, noting the wear had not yet resulted in excessive movement. Both rear tyres were flagged for slight damage, cracking, or perishing, with the nearside inner tyre also presenting a cut. These are not dangerous defects, but they indicate the car has been in regular use without proactive replacement of ageing rubber components. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between the clean pass at 74,546 miles in November 2021 and the 96,069-mile failure in September 2024, the car covered roughly 21,500 miles in under three years, a rate of around 7,200 miles annually during that period. From September 2024 to September 2025 the mileage advanced from 96,071 to 109,587, adding approximately 13,500 miles in a single year, which is higher than the long-term average of just under 10,000 miles per year. The record is complete with no gaps, and the annual testing pattern suggests the car has been kept on the road consistently rather than sitting unused for long periods. The recurring theme across the MOT history is deterioration of rubber and consumable items rather than structural or mechanical failure. Suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and windscreen washers have been the consistent points of attention. A buyer should inspect the front lower suspension arms closely, checking whether the flagged rear bushes have progressed to excessive play or if they have been replaced since the September 2025 test. The rear tyres warrant particular scrutiny, given repeated advisories for cracking, perishing, and a cut on the nearside inner tyre that was noted as not reaching the ply at the last test but could have propagated since. The front brake discs and pads should also be checked, as the higher recent annual mileage will have accelerated wear on these components. There are no recorded failures relating to the exhaust emissions, steering, or structural corrosion, which is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age.
