2012 MINI Countryman Cooper D 1.6L Diesel · LA12 ABK

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent MOT on 26 July 2025 at 124,223 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,873 miles per year. Between 11 January 2023 and 17 January 2024, the car covered 6,467 miles. Usage has since slowed significantly, with only 1,422 miles added between January 2024 and July 2025. This recent drop in annual mileage may indicate a change in ownership or a shift in how the vehicle is utilized. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects. While the vehicle failed tests on 10 January 2023 and 16 January 2024, these were resolved within 24 hours, and the records show no specific defects listed for those failures. This lack of detailed advisory notes is uncommon for a MINI of this age and mileage, as one would typically expect to see mentions of suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust system degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT record fails to highlight. Given the age and the 124,223 mile odometer reading, check for oil leaks around the engine bay and inspect the underside for structural corrosion, particularly on the subframes. Verify the condition of the coil springs and check for any play in the steering rack, as these components often wear out regardless of a clean MOT pass.
