2010 MINI Clubman 1.6L Diesel · WD10 FNJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in March 2026, but this followed a failure just six days prior. The failure was caused by a fractured offside front coil spring and an inoperative position lamp, alongside a binding offside rear brake. There is a recurring pattern of issues regarding the braking system. The MOT history shows a consistent problem with service brakes binding, moving from the nearside rear in 2025 to the offside rear in 2026. This suggests a persistent issue with the brake calipers or related components that has not been fully resolved. The mechanical trend appears to be worsening. While earlier failures were related to minor items like bulbs or tyre condition, the recent history shows more serious mechanical failures, including a significant shock absorber fluid leak in 2025 and a broken coil spring in 2026. The mileage of 124,053 is typical for a vehicle of this age, representing roughly 7,753 miles per year. This level of usage suggests the car has been driven regularly, which is consistent with the documented wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes, and suspension parts. Before purchasing, you should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system to ensure no brakes are sticking or overheating.
