Our Verdict
This 2016 MINI Countryman presents with
When inspecting this Countryman, verify the service history to see if the maintenance schedule has kept pace with its age despite the exceptionally low mileage. Pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive, as the January 2026 MOT noted that the front and rear brake discs are worn, pitted, or scored, and the nearside rear and offside front inner brake pads are wearing thin.
Negotiate with the seller regarding these documented brake advisories, as replacement discs and pads will likely be required in the near future. Additionally, check that all electrical features, interior electronics, and the manual or automatic gearbox operate correctly, and confirm that the bodywork in grey is free from unrecorded parking damage or previous repairs.
Equipped with a 1598.0cc petrol engine, this MINI Countryman falls into standard fuel economy brackets for a compact crossover of its era. Road tax will depend on its official CO2 emissions band, while insurance should be manageable given the vehicle's standard specification and engine size.
Typical maintenance costs will involve routine servicing, fluid changes, and addressing the consumable items flagged on the recent MOT, such as brake components and tyres. An estimated annual running cost, factoring in fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, sits between £900 and £1,200.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly, verifying the condition of the front and rear brake discs which were noted as worn, pitted, or scored during the January 2026 MOT test at 18,932 miles. Check the thickness of the nearside rear and offside front inner brake pads to determine if immediate replacement is necessary.
Examine the tyres for tread depth and uneven wear, keeping in mind that tyres are among the top MOT failure reasons for this model nationally. Finally, inspect the grey exterior paintwork for stone chips or minor scuffs, and ensure the cabin climate control and infotainment systems function without fault.
First registered in January 2016 and finished in grey, this petrol-powered MINI Countryman has covered just 18,932 miles. Its MOT history shows four consecutive passes in recent years, with zero test failures recorded between 2022 and 2026. The latest test at 18,932 miles noted minor wear on both the brake discs and inner brake pads, but no major structural or mechanical defects.
The MINI Countryman demonstrates solid reliability with an average MOT pass rate of 88.3% across more than 100,000 vehicles analysed, though buyers should watch out for common items like windscreen wipers, brake pads, and tyres.
