Our Verdict
A reasonable example of a 2016 petrol Co
Check the current state of the tyres, as the MOT history shows a pattern of wear and cracking on the nearside front and rear, most recently noted in April 2026. Ensure that the windscreen wipers were replaced following the recent MOT failure to avoid visibility issues.
Review the service history for regular oil and filter changes, which are critical for the 1.6L petrol engine's longevity. Since the vehicle is now ten years old, check for any signs of age-related wear on rubber seals and suspension components.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides a balance of utility and efficiency, though costs will vary based on the specific trim and insurance group. Maintenance typically involves routine replacements of tyres and brake pads, which are identified as common failure points for this model across the wider fleet.
Annual running costs, including fuel, road tax, insurance, and scheduled maintenance, are estimated to be in the region of £1,200-£1,500 depending on the owner's annual mileage and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the MOT history from 2023 and 2026 specifically mentions tyre cracking and wear on the outer edges of the nearside tyres. Verify that the windscreen wipers are now clearing the glass effectively, as this was the primary cause of the April 2026 MOT failure.
Inspect the brake pads for wear, as these are a top failure reason for the Countryman according to aggregate data. Additionally, ensure all seatbelts are fully functional and accessible, as previous MOT tests were hindered by the presence of child seats.
This black MINI Countryman has covered 61,466 miles since its first registration in July 2016, which is slightly below the model average. Its MOT history shows a consistent record of passes, with one failure in April 2026 due to ineffective windscreen wipers. Recent records highlight recurring advisories regarding tyre wear on the nearside.
The Countryman has an average MOT pass rate of 88.3%, with the most common failures being windscreen wipers, brake pads, and tyres.
