2011 MINI Countryman ONE Auto 1.6L Petrol · FJ11 VFE

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failed MOT on June 4, 2026, at 80,470 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening significantly, moving from a clean record in 2022 to a series of escalating mechanical failures. The most recent test identified critical engine issues including an inoperative malfunction indicator light and a misfire preventing emissions testing, alongside immediate requirements for front brake pads. These failures suggest a sudden neglect of basic mechanical upkeep and safety components. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 80,470 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,365 miles. However, the data shows a shift in usage patterns between May 2022 and June 2026, where the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in four years. This increased rate of travel coincides with the appearance of age-related wear. The recurring reports of cracking per per tyres across multiple tests in 2024 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle may have sat for long periods previously, allowing rubber to degrade despite the low mileage. A buyer must inspect the engine for the root cause of the misfire and verify that the malfunction light has been properly addressed rather than simply bypassed. The suspension requires close attention as the 2025 test flagged corrosion on both rear coil springs, which often leads to structural failure on these models. Furthermore, the exhaust flexi-leak noted in 2024 should be checked for further damage, and the consistent history of tyre per and uneven wear suggests a full set of new tyres is likely to meet road safety standards.
