The Mini Clubman is a subcompact executive car engineered and manufactured by German automaker BMW and sold under the Mini marque. The first-generation Clubman was introduced in 2007, as a variant of the Mini Hatch (Hardtop in the US). A commercial version called Clubvan was added to the range in 2012. The current second-generation model has been in production since 2015 and available with front- and all-wheel drive.

History

The use of the name "Clubman" is a departure from Mini tradition. "Clubman" was originally the name given to the 1970s facelift of the classic Mini, which mostly resulted in a squared-off front end, whereas the classic Mini estates had traditionally been named "Traveller" or "Countryman". However, BMW did not initially purchase the rights to use those names, and so decided to call its larger-variant "Clubman", a name which it did own rights to.

Sketches of a new estate version of the Mini were shown at the 2000 Paris Motor Show, and a rendering of the estate concept (internally named EXT), wore the Clubman name on the licence plate. The Clubman started out in development based on the first generation Mini Hatch (R50) before changing to the second gen Hatch (R56).

Common Mini Cooper s clubman problems

The Mini Cooper S Clubman, a spacious station wagon-style car designed for families and commuters, has been praised for its timeless design and affordability. However, like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems.

Overheating and engine blowouts: Some Mini Cooper S Clubman owners have reported issues with overheating and engine blowouts. These problems can be caused by various factors, including failures of the high-pressure fuel pump or cracked engines. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify potential issues before they become severe.

Thermostat failures: Thermostat failures have been reported by Mini Cooper S Clubman owners, which can lead to overheating or other engine problems. It's essential to address thermostat issues promptly to prevent further damage to the engine.

Water in the oil pan: Water dripping into the oil pan is another common problem Mini Cooper S Clubman owners have experienced. This issue can be caused by various factors, including head gasket failures or cracked engine blocks. Regular inspections and maintenance can help identify and address these problems.

Dashboard rattles: Some Mini Cooper S Clubman owners have reported rattles and creaks from the interior and dashboard. These issues can be challenging to resolve, as replacing the dashboard may not always solve the problem.

Air conditioning: Numerous reports of problems with the air conditioning system have been noted, with some owners experiencing issues with the system not cooling properly or failing altogether. It's essential to test the air conditioning system thoroughly before purchasing a Mini Cooper S Clubman to ensure it's functioning correctly.

Bodywork issues: Bodywork issues, such as scratches, dents, and poor-quality paint repairs, have been reported by Mini Cooper S Clubman owners. These problems can lead to future rust issues and should be addressed promptly.

Alloy wheel damage: Larger alloy wheels on Cooper S and John Cooper Works models can be susceptible to kerb damage, which can be expensive to repair and may indicate further suspension damage.

Interior wear: The Mini Cooper S Clubman, designed for families, may show signs of wear from child seats, scuffed plastics, and stains to the interior. It's essential to examine the interior carefully when purchasing a used Mini Cooper S Clubman.

Clutch wear: Some Mini Cooper S Clubman owners have reported issues with clutch wear, which can lead to slipping or stalling. It's crucial to check the clutch's condition before purchasing a used Mini Cooper S Clubman.

In summary, the Mini Cooper S Clubman is a spacious and accessible car that has been praised for its reliability and timeless design. However, like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems, including engine issues, dashboard rattles, air conditioning problems, bodywork issues, and alloy wheel damage. Regular maintenance, inspections, and thorough testing before purchasing can help identify and address these issues.

Mini Cooper s clubman 2012

Date Of Incident: 2023-03-27
Date Complaint: 2023-03-27
VIN: WMWSV3C59CT
Components: ENGINE
Summary: Nothing has failed yet, however, the oil stick is completely illegible. On a car that fails to have an electronic dipstick and likes to burn oil, as well as has a very small oil capacity (Around 5 liters or less) this design is going to cause the engine to run out of oil without the driver knowing. It is a seriously bad design, especially combined with BMW recommending a 10,000 mile oil change, the car will burn off all the oil it has and operator will have no idea due to the faulty design of the dipstick. I generally like BMWS engineering and designs, but this one is just atrocious and I have no idea how it got approved. Running a car out of oil usually causes the engine seize unless you shut it off at the right time, which, most people will not do. Imagine if your engine seizes on the highway? No it hasn't been inspected, I can send pictures of it, if you want? Or a video? I have not had this problem yet (knock on wood) but I have read the only warning sign, is the sound of an engine without oil and the oil pressure light comes on (which at that point you have maybe 3s to pull over and shut off the engine before it toasts the engine) I have also read about the engines consuming the entire oil capacity if you follow the BMW recommended schedule. It all just seems like a huge oversight for a company that usually has few issues.
