Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 116,595, you should prioritise checking the service history for regular oil changes and major component replacements. Specifically, look for evidence that the suspension work noted in 2022 (Macpherson strut top mounts) and the brake issues noted in 2025 have been addressed with quality parts.
Negotiate based on the frequency of tyre-related advisories. Between 2023 and 2025, multiple tyres were recorded as being worn close to the legal limit or having nails in them, suggesting a pattern of deferred maintenance or heavy usage. Ensure all four tyres have significant tread remaining and check that the wheel alignment is correct to avoid the uneven wear seen in previous tests.
As a 1598cc petrol model, running costs will be moderate. You should expect typical fuel economy for a compact SUV of this era, though high mileage may impact efficiency if the engine is not well-maintained.
Insurance groups for the MINI Countryman vary, but the 1.6L engine typically sits in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and mileage, particularly regarding common wear items like brakes and tyres which have appeared frequently in its MOT history. Estimate an annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,500 including fuel, tax, and maintenance.
Focus heavily on the suspension and steering. The 2022 MOT recorded splitting top mount bushes on both the nearside and offside front Macpherson struts; check for any knocks or knocks when driving over bumps.
Inspect the tyres and wheels thoroughly. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with tyres being worn on the edges or having nails in them (2024 and 2025). This could indicate alignment issues or simply frequent use. Additionally, check the brake pads and discs, as the record shows pitting on discs in 2022 and thin pads in 2025.
This silver 1.6L petrol MINI Countryman has covered 116,595 miles since its first registration in October 2015, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,786 miles per year. While the most recent MOT in August 2026 showed no defects, the history reveals recurring issues with tyres, brake pads, and suspension components. The vehicle's value proposition is heavily dependent on its current mechanical state following these high-mileage years.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 88.3% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being windscreen wipers, brake pads, and tyres.
