Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seekin
When inspecting this specific vehicle, prioritize a thorough check of the braking system. The July 2026 MOT explicitly flagged rear brake pads wearing thin and worn rear discs; you should confirm if these have been replaced since the test or if they remain a pending expense.
Given the mileage is roughly double the annual average for this model, check for signs of high-mileage wear in the interior, such as seat bolster wear or steering wheel texture. Ensure the service history matches the mileage progression, particularly regarding oil changes for the 1499cc engine, and verify that the tyres are in good condition, following the pattern of wear seen in the 2022 MOT.
The 1499cc petrol engine typically sits in a moderate insurance group and tax band for a vehicle of this size. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but as a petrol model, it avoids the higher maintenance complexities of some diesel counterparts.
Expect typical maintenance costs for a MINI of this age, with the immediate requirement being a rear brake service. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and a budget for wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes, should be factored into your monthly budget.
Focus heavily on the rear braking components. The MOT history shows a transition from no defects in 2023-2025 to worn pads and discs in 2026. Inspect the thickness of the pads and look for any scoring on the discs.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The 2022 MOT recorded both nearside and offside rear tyres being close to the legal limit. While these may have been replaced, it is worth checking the tread depth and ensuring there is no uneven wear that might suggest alignment issues.
This 2018 silver MINI Countryman with the 1.5L petrol engine has covered 79,207 miles as of July 2026. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,804 per year, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record. The most recent MOT in July 2026 noted wear on the rear brake discs and pads, indicating upcoming maintenance needs.
The MINI Countryman shows an 88.2% average MOT pass rate across 100,661 analysed vehicles, with common issues involving wipers, brakes, and tyres.
