2018 MINI Countryman 2.0L Diesel · X888 AJA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile having passed its most recent MOT on 3 November 2025 at 101,740 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects for either entry suggests either an administrative error or a rapid retest that did not yield specific mechanical faults. Since the 2022 test, the car has consistently passed inspections without any recorded advisories, indicating a consistent level of maintenance regarding safety-critical components. The mileage pattern is high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,700 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 57,023 miles and the October 2024 test at 90,521 miles, the vehicle covered 33,498 miles, showing heavy usage. Usage accelerated further between 2024 and November 2025, with 11,219 miles added in just thirteen months. This high annual mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to average examples. Given the high mileage and the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on wear-related items that the MOT does not cover. You should check for signs of perished control arm bushes and worn shock absorber mounts, which often degrade after 100,000 miles. The brake discs should be examined for thinning or uneven wear, as the high mileage suggests frequent thermal cycles. Inspect the engine bay for oil or coolant leaks, which are common on this model at this mileage interval.
