Considering a Cooper D, anything to watch out for?

I'm thinking about a Clubman Cooper D purchase. I've not had a Mini before, but I'm really considering it now. It'd be ~2010 car, by my budget - so what do I need to know or look out for? Fanks!

What a brilliant, comprehensive reply: thanks Ollie!

I was looking at three different examples, but only one is facelifted - a January 2011 car. This would be the one to choose, I presume?
