Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus on the service history to ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been maintained, especially given the higher-than-average mileage. Check for evidence that the brake pads and tyres—which were flagged as advisories in 2022 and 2023—were replaced promptly. Negotiate based on the mileage, as it exceeds the typical annual average for this model.
Verify the full service record to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals, as this is critical for the longevity of the 1995cc diesel engine. Ensure all documentation for previous repairs mentioned in the MOT advisories is available.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for efficiency over longer distances, though buyers should check the specific tax band for the 2018 registration year. Insurance costs will be influenced by the engine size and the vehicle's insurance group.
Typical maintenance will involve periodic replacements of wear-and-tear items. Based on the model's aggregate data, expect regular costs for brake pads and tyres. The estimated annual running cost accounts for fuel, road tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Inspect the front tyres for any remaining uneven wear on the outer edges, as this was specifically flagged in the 2023 MOT and can indicate tracking or alignment issues. Check the current thickness of the brake pads and test the operation of the nearside washer, referencing the advisories recorded in October 2022.
While the most recent MOT in July 2026 recorded no defects, these specific areas—tyres, brakes, and wipers—are the most common failure points for the Countryman according to aggregate model data. A physical inspection of these components is advised to ensure they remain in good order.
This silver 2018 MINI Countryman 2.0L diesel has covered 88,267 miles, which is above the model average. Its MOT history is notably clean, with five consecutive passes and no recorded failures. Recent tests in 2024, 2025, and 2026 were all completed without any defects or advisories.
The Countryman has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 88.2%, with common issues typically limited to wear-and-tear items like wipers, brakes, and tyres.
