2017 MINI Countryman 2.0L Diesel · SR17 ABZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on July 14 2025 at 100,649 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful re-tests. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test just days before passing, suggesting that the owner addresses mechanical defects only when prompted by a failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 76,275 miles and the July 2024 test at 88,728 miles, the car covered 12,453 miles. A further 11,921 miles were recorded in the following year up to the July 2025 test. This steady interval indicates regular use which generally helps prevent issues with seized braking components and dry seals. While the recent record shows no active defects, the recurring history of failing prior to passing warrants a thorough physical inspection of common failure points on the Countryman platform. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, as these often degrade at this mileage. Given the vehicle has crossed the 100,000-mile mark, checking for oil leaks and evaluating the condition of the brake discs is essential to ensure the previous passes were not masking deeper underlying mechanical issues.
