2021 MINI Countryman 1.5L Petrol · KE71 MHN

The vehicle maintains a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 20,770 miles resulted in a pass, although the tester noted an advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing. A child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt, but no mechanical failures were reported during this session. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,154 miles annually. Between the December 2023 test at 6,412 miles and the November 2024 test at 13,266 miles, the car covered 6,854 miles, suggesting a period of higher usage compared to its otherwise infrequent travel. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can increase the risk of rubber components degrading if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the nearside rear tyre identified in the latest MOT, as perishing or cracking indicates that the rubber is aging despite having sufficient tread. Given the history shows no issues with structural integrity or brake components, the focus should shift on fluid freshness and rubber hoses which often affect low-mileage cars. Ensuring the seat belt in the nearside rear functions correctly is also necessary as it was obstructed during the last inspection.
