Our Verdict
This 2014 MINI Countryman diesel is a reasonable buy if priced accordingly, but budget for immediate tyre and seat belt checks. The clean recent MOT record is reassuring, though a 2024 failure for missing rear belts and poor handbrake adjustment warrants confirmation the fixes were proper.
When viewing this vehicle, ask to see the 2024 MOT re-test paperwork or invoice proving the three missing rear seat belt buckles and handbrake adjustment were properly resolved, as these are safety-critical items. Confirm the service history is complete for a diesel of this age, paying attention to cambelt and fuel system intervals, since no aggregate reliability data is available for the model to guide expectations. Use the worn front tyres and historical belt issues as negotiation points to reduce the asking price by a few hundred pounds.
As a 1995cc diesel registered before April 2017, this Countryman likely falls in a lower road tax band than newer equivalents, though exact group depends on emissions; insurance should be mid-range for a small SUV. Diesel economy from the 2.0 unit is generally good, but maintenance on aged diesel components such as DPF and injectors can be costly if neglected. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and typical upkeep are around £1,000-£1,300.
The May 2026 MOT notes both front tyres worn on outer edges close to the legal limit, so inspect tread depth and edge wear closely and plan to replace the pair immediately. The 2024 failure listed missing Nearside Rear, Offside Rear and Central Rear seat belt buckles plus excessive parking brake lever movement; verify all belts are present, latch correctly, and the handbrake holds firmly on a slope. Given the car is a 2014 diesel, also check for cold-start smoke, DPF warning lights, and any corrosion around suspension mounts not flagged in the MOTs.
MJ14XSU is a May 2014 blue 2.0-litre diesel Countryman with 62,821 miles recorded at its May 2026 MOT, below typical averages for a 12-year-old car. The MOT history shows four passes and one failure in 2024 for missing rear seat belt buckles and excessive handbrake movement, all of which were evidently corrected for the pass two days later. Current advisories flag both front tyres worn on outer edges close to the legal limit, which will need replacing soon.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the MINI Countryman, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of MJ14XSU.
