Our Verdict
This 2022 MINI Countryman presents as a
Given the very low mileage on this car, the most important thing to check is whether it has been used regularly enough to avoid issues associated with short-trip or standing use, such as stale fuel, dried brake fluid, or a flat-spotted battery. Confirm that the service book (or digital service record, depending on the selling dealer) shows work being carried out at appropriate intervals rather than simply by time. Even with only two MOT tests on file, ask the seller to demonstrate evidence of tyre replacement or repair, since the recent failure related to tyre condition, and confirm whether all four tyres are now matching in brand, age, and tread depth.
Tyres are a known weak spot on the MINI Countryman according to the aggregate model data, alongside windscreen wipers and brake pads. With just 16,658 miles covered, brake pads should still have substantial life left, so inspect them visually during any viewing or pre-purchase inspection. A Countryman of this age and mileage should still carry some balance of MINI manufacturer warranty if it has been serviced on schedule — check the warranty status with a MINI main dealer using the registration LG72VKC. Negotiate on the basis of the very low mileage implying a lightly used car, but also recognise that this can sometimes point to a vehicle that has sat unused for periods, which has its own considerations.
The 1.5-litre petrol MINI Countryman typically returns around 42-45 mpg in real-world mixed driving, depending on specification and wheel size. Road tax sits in a low bracket thanks to the Euro 6 AP emission status, though exact VED costs depend on the original list price. Insurance tends to fall in groups 18-22 for this variant, which is moderate rather than cheap for a crossover of this size, and younger drivers should expect a noticeable premium.
Annual maintenance costs are generally modest for a car of this age and mileage, with a typical service around £200-£300 depending on whether it is done at a main dealer or independent specialist. Budget around £150-£250 per corner for tyre replacement on a Countryman if premium brands are specified, and remember that the recent MOT flagged tyre condition as the primary concern. Allowing for fuel, tax, insurance, and a modest maintenance allowance, estimated annual running costs of around £1,800-£2,200 are realistic for a low-mileage owner.
The MOT record shows two specific tyre-related advisories turned failures on the August 2026 test: a slightly damaged or perished nearside front tyre and an offside rear tyre with ply or cords exposed. This means the cords had become visible through the tread, which is both a safety issue and a clear sign that the tyre had been run down beyond legal limits. Inspect all four tyres for even wear, check the production dates on the sidewalls (DOT codes), and confirm the spare or tyre repair kit is present. Uneven wear could indicate alignment or suspension issues worth investigating further.
Beyond the tyres, the aggregate failure data for the Countryman suggests windscreen wipers and brake pads as recurring items. Even at 16,658 miles, the wiper blades may have perished through age rather than use, so check them in operation. Lift the car and visually inspect the brake pad thickness through the wheels, and look for scoring on the brake discs. General inspection points for any used MINI include coolant and oil leaks from the valve cover gasket (common on this engine), condition of the timing chain on cold start, and any warning lights on the dashboard after a full ignition cycle. A pre-purchase inspection by a MINI specialist is highly recommended given the limited MOT history available.
This petrol-engined MINI Countryman was first registered in September 2022 and has covered only 16,658 miles across nearly four years, which is well below the model's average annual mileage of 6,804 miles. Two MOT tests are recorded, with one pass in August 2025 at 13,625 miles and a clean retest the following day after a failed test involving two tyre defects. The Euro 6 AP emission classification means the vehicle is ULEZ-compliant across the UK. Overall the recorded data paints a tidy but lightly tested picture, and the rapid pass-and-retest sequence suggests a minor rather than systemic issue.
Across 100,661 analysed MINI Countryman models, the average MOT pass rate stands at 88.2%, which is broadly in line with the family crossover segment but not class-leading. Tyres, brake pads, and windscreen wipers recur as the most common failure points, suggesting wear-and-tear items rather than fundamental mechanical weaknesses dominate the model's MOT profile.
