2018 MINI Countryman 1.5L Petrol · AP18 CXW

The 2018 MINI Countryman presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 23 June 2025 at 20,170 miles, with no defects or advisories logged. The maintenance trend is stable, as every annual test from 2023 through 2025 resulted in a pass once minor re-tests were cleared. No worsening mechanical faults or structural concerns appear across the record. Mileage sits low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 16,813 miles at the 24 May 2023 test, rising to 19,193 miles by 13 June 2024 and 20,169 miles at the 18 June 2025 failure. That equates to roughly 2,500 miles per year, indicating light use with likely prolonged standing periods. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals. Two consecutive years show an initial failure followed five days later by a pass at near-identical mileage, on 13 then 17 June 2024 and 18 then 23 June 2025. The DVSA entries list no defects for either failure, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the first attempt rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still confirm the vehicle was not failed on undocumented corrosion, lamp faults, or brake function now omitted from the open record. Given the low mileage and clean advisories, focus a physical inspection on tyre sidewall cracking from standing, brake disc corrosion, and suspension bush condition. Verify service history matches the low annual use and check for any prior unreported repair linked to the repeated same-week failures.
