2012 MINI Clubman 2.0L Diesel · SL62 RBF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in August 2025. However, this pass followed a failure just four days prior caused by an inoperative and inefficient parking brake. There is a recurring risk pattern involving the braking system and tyres. In July 2024, the MOT recorded that both the front and rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. The subsequent failure of the parking brake in 2025 suggests a continuing decline in the condition of the braking components. The mechanical trend appears to be worsening regarding the brakes. While earlier issues in 2023 were limited to minor electrical faults and a tyre bulge, the more recent entries show a progression from brake disc advisories to a complete parking brake failure. The mileage is low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,124 miles per year. This suggests light use, but the evidence of pitted brake discs often indicates that the car has suffered from periods of standing, which allows corrosion to build up on the metal surfaces. A buyer should first inspect the brake discs for pitting and surface corrosion.
