What makes a Clubman a Clubman

The modern Clubman revived the classic Mini Countryman and Traveller's barn-style split rear doors. The 2008–2014 car had two front doors plus one rear-hinged Clubdoor on one side. The 2016–2024 car had four full-size doors.

MINI says more than 1.1 million Clubman models were built over the name's 55-year history, including more than 550,000 modern Clubman at MINI Plant Oxford.[11]

When was the last MINI Clubman?

The last Clubman rolled off the line at MINI Plant Oxford on February 5, 2024. EPA lists 2024 Cooper S Clubman, Cooper S Clubman ALL4 and JCW Clubman ALL4 models, and no Clubman from 2025 on. MINI USA's 2026 price list has no Clubman.[11][13][14][17]

Buying a used Clubman

For 2008–2014 Clubman models, recall 23V-337 targets a driver's footwell control module that can short-circuit from corrosion in road-salt states. 2008–2012 Cooper S and JCW Clubman models are also in the auxiliary coolant pump recalls 12V-008 and 18V-248.

For 2016–2017 Clubman models, check 16V-553 (side curtain air bag covers), 16V-747 (driver seat belt retractor) and 17V-222 (inner brake lights going out while signalling).[18][19][20][21][22][23]
