2011 MINI Cooper S Countryman ALL Four 1.6L Petrol · KP61 JZM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 October 2025 at 76,991 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of volatility following a significant failure just three weeks prior. In that October test at 76,902 miles, the car failed for excessively smoky emissions, reduced headlamp intensity, an engine oil leak, and a high handbrake. While the subsequent pass indicates these specific faults were addressed, the rapid succession of failures suggests a reactive maintenance approach rather than preventative care. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,991 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,133 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing only roughly 5,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the 2023 advisory regarding a perished tyre and a damaged track rod dust cover at 64,601 miles. A buyer must inspect the engine bay for the extent of the oil leak noted in 2025, as low-mileage engines can develop brittle seals from periods of sitting. The handbrake system requires a physical check to ensure the adjustment made in 2025 remains effective. Given the history of smoky emissions and suspension-related advisories, a thorough inspection of the turbocharger system and the integrity of suspension bushes is necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying mechanical wear or structural corrosion.
