2019 MINI Countryman 2.0L Petrol · FD68 XBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a recent lapse in preventative care. The most recent MOT test on November 4 2025 at 55,680 miles followed a failure just one day prior due to a nearside rear tyre exposing cords and a perishing offside rear tyre. While the car passed the re-test once these faults were rectified, the transition from a clean record in 2024 to a mechanical failure suggests that basic consumable inspections have been neglected until the MOT deadline. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Data shows steady growth from 38,647 miles in November 2022 to 48,433 miles in late 2023, eventually reaching 55,680 miles by late 2025. This low usage profile suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy motorway stress, which generally preserves the drivetrain and suspension components but can sometimes lead to rubber components degrading if the car sits for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the remaining tyres, as the 2025 failure highlights a tendency to overlook sidewall damage and perishing. The 2022 advisory regarding thin brake pads on both axles indicates that the previous owner operated the vehicle on service intervals rather than proactive maintenance. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and signs of cracking in suspension bushings, as these are common age-related issues on vehicles that are driven infrequently.
