Description
The 2017 Mini Clubman (registration YF67?ECX) is the larger, more family-friendly version of the classic Mini, offering spacious seating for five, a premium cabin, and distinctive split rear doors. Under the bonnet sits a punchy 2.0?L petrol engine (likely a Cooper?S All4, producing around 192?bhp) paired with a smooth 8-speed automatic and AWD, delivering a sporty and engaging drive while returning around mid-40s mpg?UK combined. Inside, it blends quirky Mini styling—toggle switches, circular central infotainment screen—with soft-touch materials, supportive sport seats, and clever storage including underfloor cubbies. The boot holds approximately 360?L, expandable with the 60/40-fold rear seats. Owners regularly praise its built-quality, driving enjoyment, and roomier-than-expected rear legroom (even for tall passengers), though some note the rear “barn” doors can be awkward in tight spaces and visibility is limited behind them. Common maintenance points include upper and lower engine mounts, which often need replacement around 30–50k miles; owners suggest checking for excess engine movement on a test drive. Other reported issues include occasional AC compressor, radiator, or oil filter housing leaks—but none appear to be widespread.
