2014 MINI COUNTRYMAN1.6L Petrol

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test on June 30 2025 at 65,681 miles resulted in a pass, despite the offside rear brake disc being noted as pitted or scored. While this indicates surface corrosion or wear rather than an immediate structural failure, it suggests the braking components are reaching the end of their effective life and will require attention shortly. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,473 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns moving from 48,542 miles in July 2021 to 65,681 miles in June 2025. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the infrequent use often leads to rubber-based parts degrading over time, as seen in the 2023 test at 55,860 miles where both rear-side tyres tyres were flagged for cracking and perishing. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the pitting on the offside rear disc has not progressed to a thinness that compromises performance. Given the previous advisory regarding perishing tyres, a thorough check of the sidewalls on all four tyres is necessary to identify dry rot that occurs despite sufficient tread depth. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushings and rubber mounts for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles that sit frequently often suffer from aged components rather than mechanical friction.
