Our Verdict
This is a solid buying prospect with a clean MOT pass record across three consecutive years. The only notable advisories are wear items that are cheap to address, so we recommend proceeding with a standard used-car check.
Use the August 2025 MOT advisory for nearside and offside front tyres worn to 3 mm as a negotiation point — budget around £120-£180 for a pair of front tyres if the seller has not replaced them. The leaking washer bottle is a minor fault but should be confirmed repaired, as it could fail the next MOT if it worsens. Request the full service history to confirm the timing chain and oil changes have been done at MINI's recommended intervals for the 1499cc three-cylinder petrol unit.
As a 1499cc petrol Euro 6 AP vehicle, this Countryman should return around 40-45 mpg in mixed driving, with road tax in the lower bands for post-2020 petrol cars (roughly £190 first year equivalent standard rate). Insurance group for the base 1.5 Countryman is typically moderate, and routine servicing at a specialist or main dealer runs £200-£300 per year. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance are around £1,200-£1,500 based on 8,000-10,000 miles.
On inspection, check the front tyres closely — the 2025 MOT noted both fronts at 3 mm on the edge, so verify they have been replaced or factor in immediate cost. Operate the windscreen washers to confirm the bottle leak noted in August 2025 has been fixed and no fluid is escaping onto the ground. Given no aggregate reliability data is available for this model, a general used-car inspection of brakes, suspension and bodywork is advised, though the clean MOT history with no defects in 2023 and 2024 is reassuring.
The 2020 MINI Countryman (YE70CDX) is a 1.5-litre petrol Euro 6 AP model first registered in October 2020 and finished in silver. Its MOT history shows three straight passes from 2023 to 2025 with no failures, covering 36,138 to 45,923 miles. The most recent test flagged front tyres worn to 3 mm and a leaking washer bottle, both minor and typical for a five-year-old car.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the MINI Countryman, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2020 model year cars.
- Engine Mount CrackingModerate
Like the F56 hatch, the hydraulic engine mount can split and leak, creating vibration and a dull knock under load changes.
- Front Suspension / Inner Tyre WearModerate
The heavy front end and UK roads mean bushes, drop links, and alignment can wear enough to create inner-edge tyre wear before owners notice.
- BDC (Body Domain Controller) Water DamageSerious
Clogged sunroof drains or A-pillar leaks can flood the BDC module in the passenger footwell, leading to major electrical failures.
