2012 MINI Countryman 1.6L Petrol · LB12 XMZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor deferred repairs in recent months. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 59,439 miles passed despite advisories for frayed seat belt webbing and defective wiper blades, these represent a departure from the clean record seen in 2023. The history suggests that the owner is now only addressing consumable items once they are flagged during testing. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 59,439 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,246 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with only 3,046 miles driven between July 2024 and September 2025. However, this low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components that suffer from age rather than distance, as evidenced by the recurring cracking and perishing of tyres noted in both 2022 and 2024. A buyer must inspect the physical condition of all tyres specifically, as the record indicates a history of dry rot and uneven wear despite the low mileage. The recurring damage to the offside front and central rear seat belts requires immediate attention as these are safety-critical components. Given the vehicle has likely sat for long periods, a physical inspection should also check for perished suspension bushes and seized brake calipers, which frequently become brittle on low-mileage cars of this age.
