2021 MINI Countryman 1.5L Petrol · LS21 FUO

The 2021 MINI Countryman presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent DVSA test on 27 March 2026 at 49,229 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of three consecutive annual passes. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no outstanding advisories across the vehicle's recorded history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,846 miles per year against the 49,229 miles now shown, which is typical for a five-year-old car. The records show a sharp early-life accumulation then a tapering off: the 6 March 2024 test logged 26,612 miles, the 31 March 2025 test 41,067 miles, and the 27 March 2026 test 49,229 miles. That equates to about 14,455 miles in year one of the record and only 8,162 miles in the latest twelve months. The sparse three-entry history carries no gaps and no failures, so no neglect pattern is evident from the data alone. With no advisories or defects ever raised, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. Tyres, brake disc thickness, and suspension bushes warrant physical checks despite the clean passes. The low recent annual mileage means fluids, calipers, and handbrake mechanisms may have seen limited use and could benefit from verification. Structural integrity and emissions have cleared at every test without comment. Given the absent fault history, the principal risk is latent wear from light use rather than deferred maintenance. A pre-purchase check of underbody corrosion and drivetrain condition remains sensible on any used vehicle of this age.
