2018 MINI Countryman 1.5L Petrol · KA04 ARA

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 24 September 2025 at 69,016 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean results in 2024, indicating that major mechanical and structural components are passing. The trend suggests that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to avoid immediate failure points in the last two testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 25,677 miles in March 2021 to 69,016 miles in September 2025. This regular usage is generally preferable to long periods of sitting stationary, which often leads to degradation of seals and fuel system components. The intervals between tests remain largely annual, suggesting the owner adheres to a standard maintenance schedule without significant gaps that might mask developing mechanical issues. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the recurring issue of windscreen damage, which was flagged across tests in early 2022, early 2023, and late 2023. While these were noted as non-adverse, the frequency suggests a vulnerability to stone chips or a delay in addressing minor glass repairs. Additionally, the 2021 failure for an offside front tyre worn to the limit on the edge indicates a need to check the current wheel alignment and suspension geometry to ensure uneven wear is not a recurring problem. Since there are no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake corrosion, or leaks in the recent records, the primary concerns remain these consumable wear items and the integrity of the glass.
