2015 MINI Countryman 1.6L Petrol · R66 RBN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-04 at 38,557 miles showed a PASS with no defects recorded. This follows a 2024-09-03 PASS at 32,069 miles and an earlier 2024-09-03 FAIL at the same mileage, though no defects were listed for either. The 2023-09-04 and 2022-09-07 tests also passed with no issues. While the 2025 result suggests stable roadworthiness, the 2024 FAIL without recorded defects raises questions about the accuracy of that assessment. The lack of recurring mechanical issues in the record indicates no immediate structural or safety risks, but the absence of detailed fault data limits confidence in the vehicle’s long-term reliability. The car’s mileage of 38,557 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 3,505 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual average. This low usage suggests either infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, battery life, and fluid systems. The MOT intervals align with standard 12-month cycles, but the 2024-09-03 tests (both PASS and FAIL) on the same date and mileage appear inconsistent, potentially indicating a data entry error. The sparse defect reporting across all tests means the vehicle’s maintenance history lacks granular insight into potential hidden issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the 2024 FAIL related to braking performance. Structural integrity, including rust on underbody components, is also critical given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT record shows no major faults, the lack of detailed defect descriptions means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
