2016 MINI Clubman 1.5L Petrol · WD16 VHB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend reveals a consistent failure to address rubber-related components proactively. The most recent test in July 2025 at 59,452 miles passed despite multiple advisories for perished and stepped tyres across the entire axle. While the car has avoided major mechanical failures, the recurring nature of tyre sidew cracking and damage suggests the vehicle likely sits for extended periods, allowing the rubber to degrade before the tread depth reaches legal limits. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady but infrequent usage pattern, moving from 47,885 miles in July 2022 to 59,452 miles three years later in July 2025. This low-mile-age ratio often correlates with less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it explains the age-related degradation of the tyres and the persistent damage to the windscreen noted throughout the MOT history. A buyer must focus closely on the windscreen, which has been flagged for damage in both the 2022, 2024, and 2025 tests. The persistence of this fault indicates it was never replaced, which could eventually lead to structural failure if the crack spreads. Furthermore, the tyre pressure monitoring system warning recorded during the 2022 failure should be verified to ensure the sensor was replaced or the system reset. Given the low mileage and evidence of per rubber, a thorough inspection of the suspension bushes and brake calipers is essential, as these components can suffer from seizing or cracking when a vehicle is stationary for long intervals.
