2015 MINI Countryman 1.6L Petrol · KM15 EFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in basic upkeep. In the February 2026 test at 78,617 miles, the car initially failed due to a nearside rear tyre with exposed cords and an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit on the edge. While these issues were rectified to achieve a pass, the failure indicates that the owner neglected critical tyre inspections prior to the appointment. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old Countryman, averaging approximately 7,147 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 65,228 miles and February 2026 at 78,617 miles, the vehicle covered 13,389 miles over three years. This represents a steady usage profile without signs of rapid accumulation or periods of abandonment. The clean records from 2023 through 2025 suggest that the mechanical and structural components remained stable until the most recent tyre failures. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres to ensure the recent failure was addressed with quality replacements rather than budget alternatives. Given the uneven wear noted on the offside rear tyre, a wheel alignment check is necessary to rule out worn suspension bushes or tracking geometry. The history does not flag recurring structural corrosion or brake issues, but the age of the vehicle warrants a close look at rubber components and the condition of the brake discs, which often degrade at this mileage bracket.
