Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a relatively modern MINI Countryman with a consistent MOT record. The absence of defects in its recent history suggests a vehicle that has met minimum safety standards without immediate mechanical failures recorded.
When viewing this specific 2020 petrol model, check the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule, as MOT records do not confirm maintenance quality. Given the 1499cc engine, verify that any recent servicing included a check of the turbocharger and cooling system components.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is clean, the vehicle has covered approximately 8,937 miles per year, which is above the aggregate model average of 6,797 miles. This higher usage may mean components like tyres and brake pads are closer to replacement than a lower-mileage example.
As a 1.5L petrol engine, this Countryman typically sits in a moderate insurance group and offers reasonable fuel economy for a compact SUV. Tax bands for this model vary depending on exact CO2 emissions, so verify the specific rate for YR70ABK.
Maintenance costs for MINIs can be higher than standard hatchbacks due to specialist parts. Expect typical running costs for a petrol SUV of this age, including regular servicing and the eventual replacement of consumables like tyres and brakes, which are common failure points for this model type.
While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for the MINI Countryman indicates that brake pads, tyres, and windscreen wipers are the most frequent reasons for failure. Inspect the tread depth on all tyres and the condition of the braking system thoroughly.
Check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the clarity of the windscreen, as these are common issues for this model. Additionally, inspect the white paintwork for any signs of stone chips or scratches that may have accumulated during its higher-than-average annual mileage.
Registered in September 2020, this white 1.5L petrol MINI Countryman has covered 44,688 miles as of its last test in September 2025. The vehicle has a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across four consecutive tests. Its mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 6,797 miles per year, but it remains within a reasonable range for a five-year-old vehicle.
The MINI Countryman shows an 88.2% average MOT pass rate across 100,519 analysed vehicles, with common failures related to wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes.
