The MINI CLUBMAN (2007-15) 5DR ESTATE 1.6 D DPF 110 COOPER AUTO is a compact, characterful estate: roomier and more practical than a standard MINI hatch, but smaller and more distinctive than a conventional family estate. Its split rear doors and extra side door give it a memorable look, while the automatic gearbox makes town driving and commuting easier. Mycarcheck.com records 138 look-ups covering 73 different VINs, a useful snapshot of interest in this older used model. Checks show an average private-sale value of £2,400 and average recorded mileage of 125,000 miles; average annual use is about 6,000 miles. Vehicles have averaged nearly five previous keepers, so condition, service history and ownership details deserve close attention when comparing examples. The diesel Cooper suits commuters seeking economical longer trips and boot space without an SUV’s bulk. It stands out from estate rivals for MINI styling and nimble handling, but check condition.
