2018 MINI Countryman 2.0L Petrol · FN68 CUU

The 2018 MINI Countryman presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 74,915 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Across the four subsequent annual tests from 2022 to 2025, the vehicle cleared each examination without advisories, indicating consistent mechanical condition over the period. Recorded mileage rose from 37,282 at the September 2022 tests to 50,618 by September 2023, then 61,620 in September 2024, and 74,915 in September 2025. This equates to roughly 11,000 to 13,000 miles per year across those intervals, marginally above the lifetime average of 9,364 miles per year but within normal used-car parameters for an eight-year-old vehicle. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flags logged at any stage. The only anomaly is the duplicate entry for 16 September 2022, where the car failed and passed on the same day at 37,282 miles with no defects recorded. This points to an administrative or data-recording error at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. No recurring suspension, brake, exhaust, or corrosion issues appear in the chain, so the previous owner kept the car to a standard that satisfied annual statutory checks. A buyer should still commission an independent pre-purchase inspection. The absence of MOT advisories does not rule out worn suspension bushes, tired brake discs, or early structural corrosion hidden from the annual test. Given the car is now roughly ten months past its last test, verify the current tyre tread, wiper condition, and underbody integrity before committing.
