2015 MINI Clubman 2.0L Petrol · YS65 JVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-12 confirming a pass at 82,752 miles. The maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of minor wear and corrosion issues, with no critical failures reported in the last three years. However, the recurring presence of tyre damage and wear—particularly on the rear tyres—suggests ongoing neglect in tyre rotation or alignment checks, while the newly flagged corroded rear suspension indicates a potential deterioration in structural integrity that may require immediate attention. No major safety faults were recorded in the latest test, but the accumulation of advisory items points to a gradual decline in component condition rather than a sudden failure. The mileage progression reflects steady usage, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year since 2022, which aligns with typical annual driving for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests—each MOT was conducted within a month of the previous year’s date—indicating regular servicing and compliance with legal testing requirements. The jump from 42,465 miles in February 2022 to 55,211 miles in February 2023 represents an increase of 12,746 miles, suggesting higher-than-average use during that period, though still within normal limits for a car of this age. The subsequent increases of around 7,000 miles per year have been consistent, indicating reliable and predictable usage without long-term storage periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension components, particularly the control arms, bushings, and trailing arms, given the corrosion noted in the latest test. The repeated cracking and perishing of rear tyres point to possible misalignment or worn suspension parts causing uneven tread wear; these should be checked by a qualified mechanic. The front and rear brake discs showed signs of pitting in 2022, and although they passed later tests, their continued wear suggests the need for close monitoring of disc thickness and pad condition. Additionally, the nearside front inner wheel distortion recorded in 2022 warrants investigation for potential impact damage or bent steering components. Finally, the driver’s view obstruction in 2023—caused by items removed prior to test—should be verified to ensure no loose or obstructive objects remain inside the cabin.
