All new MINIs to date have standard shocks on the rear (not struts):

On on a 2014 Clubman would it have struts in the rear? Last 4 cyl. 1.4 model.

It's happened to me a couple times on my Bini , Mike......potholes.

Could be a broken coil spring.  :-(  Not especially cheap.

My buddy called me tonite with this question. His driver's rear wheel clearance to the arch is low on one side. 
Any thoughts ?  I have no idea if these cars have struts, springs, or something else.

It's his daily driver so it needs to get fixed asap.  He's involved with his dying spouse and preoccupied.
