Our Verdict
This 2016 MINI Countryman offers strong value with an unbroken recent MOT record, though the 2021 brake pad issue warrants a pre-purchase inspection.
Prioritise a full brake system check, focusing on the rear pads and rotors flagged in 2021. Verify service history for scheduled maintenance, particularly around the 20,000-mile mark. Negotiate based on the vehicle's below-average mileage for a 10-year-old car, but factor in potential replacement costs for high-mileage components like the timing belt (not listed in MOT data). Be cautious of any discrepancies between the recorded mileage and service stamps.
Fuel economy for the 1.6L petrol engine averages 38-42 mpg on the motorway, with higher urban consumption. Zero road tax applies due to post-2017 registration. Insurance groups for MINI models typically range from 15-20, though exact figures require provider-specific quotes. Routine maintenance (oil changes, brake checks) should cost £100-£150 every 10,000 miles. Estimated annual running costs: £800-£1,100.
Focus on the rear brake assembly for wear beyond the 2021 report. Check for suspension bushings and steering components common to MINI's front-wheel-drive layout. Inspect the engine bay for oil leaks or coolant seepage, which can indicate aging gaskets. Verify the VIN against the service book to confirm ownership history and ensure no major accidents are unreported.
The vehicle has maintained low mileage (36,243 miles) for its age, with no major defects in the last four MOTs. The only recorded issue was thin rear brake pads in 2021, which may indicate routine maintenance. Its 1.6L petrol engine aligns with typical efficiency for this era, and the white paintwork suggests minimal exposure to harsh weather conditions.
No aggregate MOT data available for the MINI Countryman, but owners generally report reliable performance with regular servicing.
