2017 MINI Countryman 1.5L Petrol · GU67 YRS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 October 2025 at 47,263 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of significant neglect in late 2023. Since that major failure, the car has undergone two consecutive tests without advisories, suggesting that the previous mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle is now being maintained. At nine years old, the recorded 47,263 miles represent a low annual average of approximately 5,251 miles per year. The usage pattern is consistent, with a gap of 8,291 miles recorded between October 2022 and October 2023, and another 6,903 miles between October 2023 and October 2024. This low mileage typically indicates less strain on drivetrain components, though it can sometimes lead to older rubber components degrading if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the failure in October 2023 at 33,426 miles, which revealed a total lack of brake maintenance across all four corners with pads and discs reaching the end of their service life. The tester also flagged illegal tyre tread depths and a brake service light at that time. While subsequent tests passed, an inspection should verify that the brake calipers are not binding and that the new components have not worn unevenly. The 2024 advisory for smearing front wipers is a minor consumable issue and does not impact the overall mechanical integrity of the vehicle.
