Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this specific Countryman, pay close attention to the wheel alignment and suspension components. The MOT history shows four separate instances of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges (recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2026), which can be a symptom of incorrect tracking or suspension wear.
Verify if the 'slightly distorted' nearside front road wheel noted in December 2024 was professionally repaired or replaced, as this can affect driving stability. Ask the seller for evidence of recent wheel alignment services and check the tread depth on all four tyres personally, rather than relying solely on the MOT certificate.
As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be higher than the smaller-engined variants. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical for a compact SUV of this size.
Maintenance costs will likely be influenced by the tyre replacement frequency seen in the MOT history. Insurance groups for the 1998cc Countryman tend to be mid-range. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, sit in the mid-tier for this vehicle class.
A primary focus should be the tyres and wheels. Given the MOT history mentions nearside front and rear tyre wear issues, as well as a distorted nearside front wheel in 2024, inspect the sidewalls for bulges and the tread for uneven wear patterns.
Additionally, check the suspension for any signs of play, as repeated tyre edge wear often points to worn bushings or dampers. Since the model aggregate data identifies brake pads as a top failure reason, ensure the braking system has been recently serviced and check for any advisory notes regarding pad thickness.
This 2018 silver MINI Countryman, powered by a 1998cc petrol engine, has covered 65,043 miles since its registration in December 2018. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent being in February 2026. While it has maintained a pass record, the data reveals consistent issues with tyre wear and a recorded wheel distortion.
Based on an aggregate of over 100,000 vehicles, this model shows an 88.3% MOT pass rate, with windscreen wipers, brake pads, and tyres being the most common points of concern.
