The MINI CLUBMAN (2007-15) 5DR ESTATE 1.6 122 EU5 COOPER CHILI AND SPORT PACK STEP AUTO6 is a compact, five-door estate that adds useful load space and rear access to the familiar MINI hatchback format. In the UK used-car market, it sits between small city cars and larger family estates: distinctive and easy to park, but more practical than its cheeky styling first suggests. Its split rear doors give it a memorable look. The 1.6-litre Cooper pairs lively everyday performance with an automatic gearbox, making it appealing for commuting and town driving. Chili and Sport Pack versions bring extra style and equipment, while the Clubman’s cabin and boot suit couples, small families and weekend trips. It is less spacious than a full-size estate, but more characterful than many practical rivals. 81 mycarcheck.com checks covered 43 VINs; averages were 78,000 miles, £4,300 private-sale value, 5,000 miles yearly and 3.2 previous keepers.
