2015 MINI Countryman 1.6L Petrol · GU15 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-30 at 56,004 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects recorded. Previous tests from 2025-01-11 (48,950 miles) and 2024-01-25 (44,255 miles) also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. A failed test on the same date (2024-01-25) at 44,255 miles is noted, though no defects were recorded, suggesting a procedural or technical failure rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of recurring issues across multiple tests implies consistent upkeep, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny for potential underlying concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 56,004 miles at 11 years old averages 5,091 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, rubber seals, and battery health. Notably, the 2023-06-20 test at 40,799 miles showed no defects, and the 2024-01-25 test (same mileage) passed after a failure, suggesting possible temporary issues resolved before the subsequent 2025 and 2026 tests. The sparse data between 2023 and 2024, with no recorded defects, implies minimal mechanical degradation during this period. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn coil springs or bushings, common in older MINIs, and check for corrosion in the underbody, particularly around the exhaust system. The brake discs and calipers should be assessed for uneven wear or binding, as low mileage can sometimes mask brake component fatigue. Additionally, the vehicle’s electrical systems and fluid levels may require attention due to potential inactivity. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the 2024 failure and low mileage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
