2018 MINI Countryman 2.0L Petrol · DE68 FCJ

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 25 September 2025 at 85,915 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a four-year pattern of first-time passes, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent and aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the odometer rose from 37,548 miles to 85,915 miles. The annual increase has remained steady, averaging roughly 12,000 miles per year over the last four tests. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden changes in ownership usage. The absence of any advisories across five consecutive tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Typically, a Mini Countryman with 85,000 miles would show early signs of wear in the suspension bushes, brake disc thinning, or minor corrosion on the underside. The clean record suggests the previous owner replaced consumables proactively before they became MOT failures. A physical inspection should focus on the areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or deemed acceptable but are nearing the end of their service life. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these are high-wear items given the 10,000-mile annual average. A technician should also verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine maintenance matches the clean MOT record.
