2021 MINI Countryman Cooper Boardwalk ED 1.5L Petrol · LV21 FMC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward neglected consumable care. The most recent test on July 2, 2025 at 25,089 miles resulted in a pass despite advisories for damaged or cracking nearside front and offside rear tyres. This indicates that while the vehicle meets legal standards, the rubber components are beginning to age and de-grade beyond what the mileage would suggest. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the March 2024 test at 21,166 miles and the July 2024 test at 22,570 miles, covering only 1,404 miles in four months. This low annual usage generally reduces the mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension, but it often leads to flat-spotting of tyres and corrosion of brake components if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a progression of tyre-related issues from front tyres being worn to the legal limit in March 2024 to perishing and cracking by July 2025. This pattern suggests the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life due to age. You should also check the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to surface corrosion when the rotors are not used frequently to clear the oxidation layer.
