2010 MINI Clubman 1.6L Diesel · RO60 OOG

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-19 showed the vehicle passed with minor issues: front and rear sub-frame corrosion (not seriously weakened) and a worn, pitted front brake disc. These defects were also noted in earlier MOTs, indicating persistent but non-critical corrosion and brake wear. The 2025-12-11 failure included more severe issues like low headlamp aim, exposed tyre ply, and brake binding, suggesting intermittent maintenance or unresolved problems. A recurring pattern of sub-frame corrosion, tyre wear, and brake disc degradation is evident. The 2024-11-26 failure highlighted suspension bush wear, while the 2024-12-14 pass noted tyres near legal limits. These issues suggest gradual wear on critical components, though no major safety risks were recorded in the 2025 pass. The 2023-11-08 MOT was clean, indicating earlier reliability, but subsequent years show increasing defects. The vehicle’s mileage of 97,024 miles over 16 years aligns with typical usage (6,064 miles annually), implying moderate wear rather than heavy use. However, recurring corrosion and brake disc issues may reflect exposure to harsh conditions or insufficient maintenance. The trend shows some improvement in the most recent MOT, but persistent defects suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
