Our Verdict
This 2015 MINI Countryman (EX65MAV) is a sensible used buy with a clean MOT pass record and modest mileage for its age. The only caution is minor wear items flagged at recent tests that should be addressed soon after purchase.
Given the consistent MOT passes, focus your negotiation on the minor wear items noted in the history. The May 2026 test flagged front brake discs as worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, and the 2023 test noted front brake pads wearing thin, so budget for a brake refresh if not already done. Ask the seller for service history confirming cambelt or chain checks, fluid changes, and that the offside front wheel distortion from 2022 was corrected or the wheel replaced.
The 1.6-litre petrol engine in this 2015 Countryman typically offers reasonable fuel economy for a small SUV, though exact figures are not in the provided data. As a 1598cc petrol registered in September 2015, it will fall into a standard VED band and a moderate insurance group for the model, but specific tax and insurance values are not listed here. Based on the low mileage and clean history, typical annual maintenance should be limited to consumables like brakes and tyres, with an estimated annual running cost of £800-£1,000 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine upkeep.
Inspect the front brake discs closely as the May 2026 MOT noted them worn, pitted or scored, though not seriously weakened, and confirm pad thickness given the 2023 advisory for thinning front pads. Check the offside front road wheel for distortion noted at the 2022 test and verify it has been straightened or replaced to avoid vibration. Review overall bodywork on this white example for stone chips and confirm the 55,535-mile odometer reading matches the service records and MOT timeline.
The white 2015 petrol MINI Countryman has covered 55,535 miles as of its May 2026 MOT, which is below typical averages for an 11-year-old car. Its MOT history shows five consecutive passes from 2022 to 2026 with only minor advisories such as worn brake discs, thinning pads, and a slightly distorted wheel. No MOT failures are recorded, and there is no aggregate model reliability data to draw on, so the assessment rests on the individual history provided.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the MINI Countryman, so this assessment is based solely on the individual vehicle's recorded history.
