2011 MINI Countryman Cooper S ALL4A 1.6L Petrol · LC60 WZB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in preventative care. While it passed the most recent test in November 2025 at 98,159 miles, the tester flagged multiple critical advisories regarding tyre wear and alignment. This marks a shift from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, indicating that while the mechanical components are currently passing, basic consumable upkeep has been neglected in the latest service interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 8,366 miles driven between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,168 miles between the November 2024 and 2025 tests. This regularity suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the ALL4 drivetrain's rubber components and seals, despite the relatively low total odometer reading. A buyer must address the recurring oil leak issue first noted in September 2022 and again in November 2025. Although the tester classified these as not excessive, the persistent nature of the leak suggests a weeping sump gasket or valve cover seal that requires monitoring to prevent future engine damage. Furthermore, the November 2025 advisory regarding inner shoulder tyre wear and out-of-shape tyres indicates a significant alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection of the front control arms and shock absorbers is essential to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
