ClubmanEngines for Sale —Used & Reconditioned

A: The Clubman was offered with two distinct engine families across its production run. The first‑generation (R55, 2007–2014) used the 1.4‑litre N12 and 1.6‑litre N12/N16/N14/N18 Prince‑family petrol engines, plus the 1.6‑litre N47 and 2.0‑litre N47 diesel engines. The second‑generation (F54, 2015–2024) used BMW’s B‑series engines: the 1.5‑litre B38 three‑cylinder petrol, the 2.0‑litre B48 four‑cylinder petrol, and the 2.0‑litre B47 four‑cylinder diesel. JCW variants used high‑output versions of the B48.

A: Check your V5C registration document — the engine code is listed in Section 4 (Vehicle details). For R55 models (2007–2014), common codes include N12B16, N14B16, N16B16, N18B16, N47C16, and N47C20. For F54 models (2015–2024), codes include B38A15, B48A20, and B47C20. You can also use an online reg‑checker service (e.g., the DVLA vehicle enquiry service) which will show your vehicle’s engine details.

A: This depends on your budget and the age of your vehicle. For newer F54 models (2015–2024), used engines with low mileage are often the most cost‑effective option. For older R55 models (2007–2014), particularly the Prince‑family petrol engines (N14/N18) which have known timing chain issues, a reconditioned engine with new timing components may offer better long‑term reliability. Diesel engines (N47, B47) are generally robust but high‑mileage examples may benefit from a reconditioned unit with new injectors and turbo components.

A: All GMC engines come with a standard warranty covering mechanical failure. Delivery is to a UK mainland address of your choice (commercial address preferred; residential delivery may be possible subject to vehicle access). Used engines are photographed and compression‑tested before dispatch; reconditioned engines are fully rebuilt with new gaskets, seals, timing components, and bearings. Detailed warranty terms are available on each listing page.
