2016 MINI Countryman 1.6L Petrol · GV66 UGA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 July 2026 at 73,710 miles with no defects recorded. This follows two years of clean passes in 2024 and 2025. While the earlier history shows intermittent tyre-related failures, the absence of mechanical or structural advisories in the latest tests suggests that the primary components are currently well-maintained. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2022 at 26,309 miles and January 2023 at 45,500 miles, where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has levelled to a more steady rate of roughly 6,500 to 7,000 miles annually. This moderate usage limits excessive wear on rubber-based suspension components and bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and alignment, given the history of recurring tyre issues. The failure in January 2023 due to exposed cords and inner-edge wear on the rear tyres indicates potential alignment problems or worn shock absorbers. Although these appear to be rectified, the buyer should check for uneven wear on the current set of tyres to ensure the underlying mechanical cause has not returned. Additionally, the presence of child seats in 2021 and 2025 prevented full inspections of the seatbelts, so a manual check of the belt tensioners and fraying is necessary.
