2021 MINI Countryman 2.0L Petrol · LD71 DYP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 40,847 miles resulted in a pass, it introduced advisories for perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. This suggests that while the tread depth remains sufficient, the rubber compound is beginning to degrade due to age or environmental exposure despite the relatively low mileage. At 40,847 miles over five years, the Countryman has averaged approximately 8,170 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for this class. The record shows a brief spike in activity in September 2024 where the vehicle failed at 28,940 miles due to front tyres being below the legal tread limit. The fact that the vehicle passed inspection just one day later at 28,941 miles after replacing the tyres indicates the previous owner only addressed these issues once prompted by a test failure. A buyer should inspect the vehicle specifically for signs of uneven tyre wear, as the offside front was flagged for edge wear in 2024 which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The current advisories for cracking rear tyres suggest the car may have sat stationary for extended periods, which warrants a check of the brake rotors for corrosion and the fluid levels for leaks. No structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures have appeared in the history, suggesting the core integrity remains sound despite the inconsistent interval of consumable maintenance.
