Expensive Car Supplement by model
Does the MINI Clubman pay the Expensive Car Supplement?
May pay, depending on options. In 3 dated UK price lists (2017–2020), None of the 543 MINI Clubman versions priced had a base list price over £40,000, but 8 came within £7,500 of it, so factory options could take a well-specified car over. A car that pays is charged £440 a year on top of the £200 standard rate for 5 years from its second licence: £2,200 over the window at 2026/27 rates.

Year links open the archived Autocar page the figures come from (Internet Archive). Where Autocar's page for an older generation was captured after it went off sale, it shows that generation's final price list, dated to the end of the generation.
What this means for a MINI Clubman
The supplement is charged on the list price including factory-fitted options, so a MINI Clubman near the top of the range with a large options list could pay it. Dealer-fitted accessories and discounts do not count.
The list price that counts is the original one on the car's sales invoice. It is not on the V5C log book; the VED rate DVLA charges on the tax reminder shows whether the supplement is being applied. See how the supplement works and other models.
Limitations
These are 73 Auto's summaries of dated price-list snapshots, not DVLA records: prices can change during a year, and versions sold between snapshots may be missing.
Base prices exclude options, which count towards the threshold, so a car can pay even when its base price is under it.
Versions whose powertrain could not be identified from their name are left out, because the threshold depends on it. Petrol, diesel and hybrid cars registered before 1 April 2017 never pay the supplement.
