Our Verdict
A highly recommended example for those seeking low mileage. The exceptionally low usage makes this a standout option compared to the model average.
When viewing this 1.6L petrol Countryman, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the low mileage has been matched by regular maintenance. Because the vehicle has been driven so little, it is important to check that it has been used for more than just very short trips, which can sometimes lead to carbon buildup in petrol engines.
Negotiate based on the service intervals rather than just the mileage. While the MOT history is clean, the 2024 failure indicates a need to check if any immediate repairs were required following that specific test. Ensure all consumables, such as tyres and brakes, are in good condition, as these are common failure points for this model.
Running costs for this 1598cc petrol model will be moderate. You should expect typical fuel economy for a compact SUV of this era, though driving habits will vary the actual MPG. Insurance groups for MINI Countryman models vary, so obtain a quote based on the specific BD14LSE registration.
Maintenance costs are generally aligned with premium small SUVs. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical failures, you should budget for standard wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,300-£1,600.
Given the MOT history, pay close attention to the tyres and brake pads. While this specific vehicle has had clean passes recently, the aggregate data for this model shows these are the most frequent reasons for failure. Check the tread depth on all tyres and the thickness of the brake discs.
Additionally, inspect the windscreen wipers and the condition of the windscreen, as these are noted common failure points in the wider MINI Countryman dataset. Because the mileage is so low (27,146 miles), also check for any signs of age-related deterioration in rubber seals or suspension components that may occur even when a car is not driven frequently.
This 2014 red MINI Countryman has covered just 27,146 miles in its twelve-year life, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,797 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, with only one recorded failure in 2024 at 23,622 miles. Most recent tests have resulted in clean passes with no defects or advisories recorded.
The MINI Countryman shows an average MOT pass rate of 88.2% across the 100,519 vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to brakes, tyres, and wipers.
