2015 MINI Countryman 1.6L Petrol · LR15 KCE

The vehicle recently passed its MOT on 23 March 2026 at 70,445 miles, yet the maintenance trend shows signs of deterioration regarding critical systems. Just four days prior, the car failed due to an inoperative engine management light and an ABS fault. Although these electronic errors were rectified to secure a pass, the tester flagged both front and rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored on both the failure and the subsequent pass certificate. This indicates the braking components remain in a suboptimal condition despite the recent work. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage, averaging roughly 6,400 miles annually over the vehicle's life. The record shows a steady progression from 51,819 miles in July 2023 to 70,445 miles by March 2026 without any suspicious gaps or odometer inconsistencies. The consistent use suggests the car has not suffered from the issues associated with long-term standing, such as seized components or fluid degradation. You should closely inspect the braking hardware and tyre condition before purchase. The history reveals a pattern of delayed maintenance, with front tyres worn to the legal limit in April 2025 and rear tyre perishing noted the previous year. The fact that the brake discs were flagged as scored but not replaced during the recent MOT repairs implies a reactive approach to upkeep. Verify the current depth of the brake discs and ensure no dashboard warning lights illuminate during the test drive, as the recent electrical faults could indicate underlying sensor or wiring issues.
