Our Verdict
This 2016 MINI Countryman offers a clean recent MOT history and low mileage for its age, but the 2025 MOT failure with no recorded defects raises concerns about data accuracy or potential hidden issues.
Prioritise verifying the 2025 MOT failure - confirm whether it was a genuine test or a data error. Insist on a full independent inspection, paying close attention to the odometer's integrity given the mileage discrepancy. Negotiate a lower price to account for the uncertain history, and check for service records to confirm maintenance consistency. Be wary of potential hidden faults despite the clean MOTs.
As a 1.6L petrol engine, the Countryman likely achieves 35-40 mpg combined, placing it in a mid-range fuel economy bracket. Tax would be £140-£150 annually (2017+ diesel/petrol vehicles). Insurance groups for MINI models typically range from 15-20, with premiums around £600-£800 annually. Maintenance costs may be higher than average for a MINI, with typical servicing at £200-£300 per visit. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Thoroughly check for odometer tampering given the 7,800-mile reduction between 2025 and 2024. Inspect the engine and transmission for signs of stress or repair work. Examine the body for dents/repairs that might correlate with the 2025 MOT failure. Review service history for regular maintenance, and test all electrical systems common to MINI models. Verify the VIN against the chassis number to confirm no major accidents.
The vehicle has a mostly clean MOT record with no defects in its last three checks, but the 2025 MOT failure (despite no defects listed) and a 7,800-mile drop in mileage between 2025 and 2024 warrant caution. Its 62,467 miles are below average for a 10-year-old vehicle, though the lack of model-specific reliability data limits confidence.
No aggregate MOT data available for MINI COUNTRYMAN models to assess general reliability trends.
