Our Verdict
A modern, Euro 6 compliant choice that r
Given that this vehicle has covered significantly more miles than the typical Countryman of this age, the service history is the most critical document to review. Ensure that oil changes and inspections have kept pace with the actual mileage rather than just following a time-based schedule.
When negotiating, use the above-average mileage as a lever to ensure the price is competitive. Confirm that the brake pad sensor issue noted in the MOT was fully resolved and that the brake pads themselves have sufficient remaining life, as brake components are a known failure point for this model.
The 1499cc petrol engine is Euro 6 AP compliant, ensuring it remains exempt from most UK clean air zone charges. Insurance costs will depend on the driver, but the Countryman typically sits in a mid-range insurance group for small SUVs.
Maintenance costs are expected to be standard for a modern MINI, though the higher mileage may bring forward the need for wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake discs. Total annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and servicing, are estimated to be moderate.
Pay close attention to the front braking system and the windscreen wipers, as these were the specific causes of the MOT failure in March 2026. Check for any uneven wear on the brake pads and ensure the wipers clear the glass without streaking.
Referencing the model aggregate data, you should also inspect the suspension arms for any signs of premature wear or play, as this is a top failure reason for this model. Finally, check the tyre tread across all four corners, given the 32,615 miles covered since registration.
This grey 2023 MINI Countryman has recorded 32,615 miles, which is notably higher than the model average of 6,788 miles per year. Its first MOT in March 2026 initially failed due to an incorrectly routed brake pad wear sensor and an ineffective windscreen wiper, though both were rectified for a pass on the same day. The vehicle meets Euro 6 AP emissions standards, making it suitable for low-emission zones.
The Countryman has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 88.3%, with the most frequent issues relating to wipers, brake pads, and suspension arms.
