2015 MINI Countryman 1.6L Petrol · LF15 VLL

The most recent 2025‑08‑16 MOT at 67,269 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the simultaneous failure on the same date indicates that underlying issues may still exist and the maintenance trend cannot be judged as definitively improving. The mileage has risen from 59,818 miles in the August 2024 test to 67,269 miles in the August 2025 test, an increase of 7,451 miles over 11 months, which exceeds the vehicle’s typical annual average of about 6,115 miles and suggests more intensive use than the earlier period, though no major gaps appear in the testing timeline. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding, examine brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, and confirm the exhaust system’s condition, as these components were implicated in the earlier failures despite the recent clean result.
