Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a diesel-powered MINI Countryman with a relatively clean recent MOT history. While the mileage is high, the lack of defects in the most recent tests is a positive indicator.
Given the high mileage of 96,516 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history, particularly regarding timing belt/chain intervals and diesel particulate filter (DPF) maintenance. While the MOT records show no defects in the last two years, high-mileage diesel engines require consistent oil changes to prevent turbocharger issues.
When negotiating, use the higher-than-average mileage to your advantage. Ask for evidence of recent major service items and check if the suspension components or brakes have been addressed recently, as these are common wear items for this model type.
As a 1598cc diesel, this Countryman is likely to offer efficient motorway cruising, though urban driving may impact fuel economy. You should check the specific tax band for this 2014 registration, as diesel rates can vary based on CO2 emissions.
Insurance groups for MINI Countryman models vary widely depending on the specific trim and driver profile. Maintenance costs will likely be standard for a premium compact SUV, but be prepared for potential costs related to wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes, which are common failure points for this model aggregate.
Focus your inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. Although this specific vehicle has had no recent MOT failures, the aggregate data for MINI Countryman models identifies brake pads and tyres as the most frequent reasons for failure.
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the overall clarity of the windscreen, as these are also statistically significant failure points for this model. Given the 96,516 miles recorded, listen for any unusual engine noise that could indicate wear in the diesel powertrain.
This 2014 white MINI Countryman (BJ64CXE) features a 1.6L diesel engine and has covered 96,516 miles as of its last test. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with a single failure recorded in early 2024 that was rectified immediately. Compared to the model average of 6,797 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly more than the typical example.
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.
