Our Verdict
This is a strong prospect for a buyer seeking a nearly new MINI Countryman. With very low mileage and a clean MOT record, it presents a minimal immediate risk.
When viewing this blue Countryman, first verify that the service history matches the low mileage recorded. Since the vehicle is a 2023 model, ensure that any manufacturer warranty is still active and transferable to a new owner.
Check the interior condition for signs of wear, though at 18,259 miles, it should be minimal. Ask the seller for proof of any interim services performed between the first registration and the first MOT, as regular oil changes are vital for the 1.5L petrol engine.
The 1499cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for a variety of drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically efficient for a compact SUV, though real-world figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs should be predictable for a vehicle of this age, primarily consisting of scheduled servicing rather than unexpected repairs. Expect annual running costs to be influenced heavily by your personal insurance profile and fuel consumption.
As the most recent MOT in March 2026 recorded no defects, there are no specific failure patterns to investigate on this particular vehicle. However, you should still perform a standard inspection of the tyres, brake pads, and lights.
For this model, check the infotainment system functionality and ensure all electronic components are operating as intended. Given the low mileage, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres to ensure they haven't suffered from flat-spotting if the car has been stationary for periods.
Registered in March 2023, this 1.5L petrol MINI Countryman has covered 18,259 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle's MOT history shows a single pass with no defects recorded, suggesting no immediate mechanical or safety issues were flagged during its first inspection. Given its age and low mileage, it represents a modern example of the model.
There is currently no aggregate MOT data available to establish a specific reliability trend for the MINI Countryman.
