2014 MINI Countryman 1.6L Petrol · EU64 XEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 36,025 miles which returned with no recorded defects. This follows an improving trend compared to the 2024 inspection where thin front brake pads were identified. The current clean sheet suggests that the previous owner has addressed identified maintenance requirements before they escalated into mechanical failures. At twelve years old, the recorded mileage of 36,025 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns with intervals of roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles between annual tests since 2022. This type of low-mileage typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts perishing due to age rather than distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres, particularly as the 2022 test at 25,307 miles flagged perishing and cracking on the rear axle. Despite the low mileage, dry rot can affect sidewalls on vehicles that sit for long periods. The 2024 advisory regarding thin brake pads indicates that consumables are reaching their service limits, so the current thickness of the discs and pads should be verified to ensure no glazing has occurred. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for underbody corrosion and perished suspension bushes is also advisable, as these components degrade over time regardless of miles driven.
