What MINI Cooper Clubman failures look like

7,113 MINI Cooper Clubman tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 2,674 tests (37.6%), with brakes on 1,418 tests (19.9%) and with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 929 tests (13.1%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.

Narrowed down from the categories to the individual defects themselves, three come up on more than one test:

  • Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge

    MOT inspection manual reference 5.2.3, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension

    Recorded on 1,669 of the 7,113 tests: 302 failures and 1,367 advisories or minors.

  • Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened

    MOT inspection manual reference 1.1.14, in brakes

    Recorded on 741 of the 7,113 tests: 32 failures and 709 advisories or minors.

  • Brake pad(s) wearing thin

    MOT inspection manual reference 1.1.13, in brakes

    Recorded on 492 of the 7,113 tests: 77 failures and 415 advisories or minors.

Where there is enough data to compare: MINI MINI (3,512,355 tests), MINI Cooper (1,683,296 tests), MINI Countryman (673,264 tests), MINI Cooper S (617,930 tests), every MINI model (7,788,228 tests).

Clauses are read from the manual reference at the end of every defect on the cached test records, and a defect shown here has to appear on at least two of them before it is named. The site-wide breakdown explains how that works and compares every make.
