Our Verdict
Strong recommendation based on the excep
Given the very low annual usage, the primary focus should be on the service history to ensure oil and filter changes were performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Check for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as the condition of rubber seals or battery health, as the car has averaged far fewer miles than typical for its age.
Verify that the nearside and offside front tyres, which were noted as worn close to the legal limit in June 2025, were replaced prior to the most recent MOT. Negotiate based on the age of the current tyres and any evidence of overdue scheduled maintenance.
The 1598cc petrol engine provides a balance of utility and performance, with fuel economy typical for a petrol crossover of this era. Tax and insurance will fall into standard categories for a MINI Countryman of this age and engine size.
Annual running costs will be driven primarily by fuel and insurance. Maintenance costs are expected to remain moderate, provided the low-mileage status is supported by a consistent service record.
Inspect the tyres and brake pads carefully, as these are identified as top MOT failure reasons for this model across 100,990 analysed vehicles. While the June 2026 MOT was passed without defects, the 2025 advisories regarding front tyre wear suggest a need to check current tread depths and brand consistency.
Additionally, check the windscreen wipers for perishing or streaks, as these are a common failure point for the Countryman. A general inspection of the underbody for corrosion is advised, although the low mileage may mitigate this risk.
This vehicle has covered just 28,852 miles since its first registration in September 2015, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history is notably clean, with five consecutive passes and only one instance of tyre-related advisories recorded in 2025. It presents as a low-mileage example of the 1.6L petrol variant.
The Countryman maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 88.3%, with most failures attributed to common wear-and-tear items.
