Our Verdict
This 2021 MINI Countryman represents a s
Because the MOT record only covers two tests, this Countryman is best judged as lightly evidenced rather than proven over a long period. That said, the absence of advisories on either test is encouraging. Ask the seller for the full service history — the 1.5 petrol engine has a variable timing chain and turbocharger that benefit from regular oil changes, so evidence of timely servicing matters more than usual. Negotiate based on the fact that only two MOTs exist, which limits the longitudinal picture you can build. Inspect the car in person rather than relying on the MOT data alone, particularly as 2021 models may now be approaching five years old and original warranty cover will have lapsed.
Check that any optional equipment (sat-nav, leather, panoramic roof) functions correctly, as MINI electrical gremlins are not uncommon and would not show on an MOT. Confirm the V5C details match the seller and that the car has not been the subject of an insurance write-off. If buying from a franchised dealer, ask about any outstanding MINI service plans or recall work, particularly relating to the high-pressure fuel pump which has been subject to manufacturer action on early F60 generation models.
The 1.5-litre petrol Countryman typically returns around 40-45 mpg in real-world mixed driving, helped by its modest displacement and turbocharging. Road tax sits in a low band thanks to the Euro 6 AP rating, costing around £170-£180 per year for the standard rate. Insurance is likely to fall into group 15-18 depending on trim, so mid-range premiums compared with similar crossovers. Routine maintenance is reasonable for the class, with an oil and filter change around £150-£200 at an independent and a major service including spark plugs and brake fluid in the £350-£450 range. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,400 including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance.
Although this specific vehicle has a clean MOT record, the MINI Countryman model's most common MOT failure points are windscreen wipers, brake pads and tyres — all wear items that can be addressed cheaply. On inspection, check the wiper blades for streaking, the front and rear brake pad thickness via the wheels, and the tread depth and sidewall condition of all four tyres, including the spare-space saver if fitted. Beyond MOT failure categories, inspect the 1.5 petrol's timing chain area for any rattle on cold start, listen for turbo whistle, and look for oil leaks around the sump and filter housing. Check the rear door seals and tailgate struts, as Countryman tailgates are heavy and the struts can weaken with age.
Also examine the alloy wheels for kerbing damage, which is common on MINI models, and verify the tyre sizes match all four corners. Inspect the interior trim, particularly around the high-traffic areas such as the gear lever and steering wheel, for premature wear. Test all electrical items including the infotainment touchscreen, climate control, electric windows and mirror adjustment, as MINI electrical faults are a known weak point. Finally, check under the car for corrosion, paying attention to the exhaust and subframe, and confirm there are no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard before any test drive.
This petrol-powered MINI Countryman was first registered in October 2021 and is finished in grey with the 1.5-litre engine, sitting in the Euro 6 AP emissions bracket. Only two MOT tests appear on record, both passed with no defects or advisories, the most recent being October 2025 at 11,292 miles. Mileage is notably below the 6,804-mile annual average recorded across 100,661 MINI Countryman models in our dataset, suggesting limited use. The vehicle's MOT pass rate versus an 88.2% model average cannot be fully judged on only two tests, but both outcomes are clean.
Across 100,661 MINI Countryman models in our dataset, the average MOT pass rate stands at 88.2%, which is broadly in line with the family crossover segment rather than exceptional. The most common failure points — wipers, brake pads and tyres — are routine consumables rather than structural or mechanical concerns.
