AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle holds a current roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 8 January 2026, which passed with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable after a period of failure recorded on 11 December 2023. While the vehicle failed the test on that date, the subsequent passes in late 2024 and early 2026 indicate that the specific issues identified at that time were rectified immediately. At a recorded mileage of 76,495 miles, the 2014 MINI COUNTRYMAN has averaged approximately 6,375 miles per year. This usage pattern aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with tests performed in December for 2022, 2023, and 2024 before the recent January check. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods which can often lead to component degradation or seized brakes. While the most recent records are clean, a buyer should verify the specific cause of the December 2023 failure to ensure a thorough repair was performed. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber, which are common areas of wear on this model. Checking for signs of corrosion on the structural integrity and the brake lines is also advisable, as the MOT record only captures defects that meet specific safety thresholds. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.

Our Verdict

A solid option for those seeking a diesel MINI Countryman with a relatively consistent MOT record. The recent history shows no defects, suggesting the vehicle has been kept up to date with its testing requirements.

When inspecting this 1.6L diesel Countryman, focus on the service history to ensure the timing chain and diesel particulate filter (DPF) have been managed correctly, as these are common considerations for this engine type. While the MOT records for this specific vehicle show no recent defects, you should still check for any signs of oil leaks or suspension wear that might not have triggered an MOT advisory yet.

Negotiate based on the mileage; at 76,495 miles, it has been driven more than the statistical average for this model. Ensure you ask for proof of recent maintenance, particularly regarding the brakes and tyres, which are the most common failure points for the MINI Countryman across the wider dataset.

As a 1598cc diesel, this vehicle is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a moderate insurance group and offering competitive fuel economy for long-distance driving. Tax bands for 2014 diesel MINIs vary depending on the exact CO2 output, so verify the specific band before purchase.

Maintenance costs for the Countryman are typically moderate, though diesel-specific components like injectors or sensors can be more expensive than petrol equivalents. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine servicing, to fall within a predictable range for a premium small SUV.

Given that the aggregate data for this model identifies brake pads, tyres, and windscreen wipers as the most frequent MOT failure reasons, check the remaining tread depth and pad thickness on this vehicle. Even though AX14FFV has passed its last three tests without defects, these wear items should be physically inspected.

Additionally, look for any uneven tyre wear which could indicate suspension or alignment issues. Since the 2023 MOT showed a failure followed by an immediate pass, it is worth confirming what specific component was rectified during that visit to ensure the repair was comprehensive.

This 2014 blue MINI Countryman (AX14FFV) has covered 76,495 miles over its 12-year lifespan, which is slightly higher than the model average of 6,797 miles per year. The MOT history is largely clean, with the most recent tests in 2026, 2024, and 2023 all passing without recorded defects. While there was one failure in December 2023, the vehicle has since maintained a defect-free record.

The MINI Countryman shows an average MOT pass rate of 88.2% across 100,519 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to consumables like brakes and tyres.
