2012 MINI Countryman Cooper SD Auto 2.0L Diesel · PK12 SVS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent string of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 31 May 2025 at 87,423 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance history where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they resulted in MOT failures, suggesting the car has been kept in good operational condition. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,244 miles per year. Between May 2021 and May 2025, the car covered 17,716 miles, showing a steady progression of roughly 4,400 miles annually during that period. This usage profile suggests light commuting, which typically reduces the strain on the automatic gearbox and suspension components. The lack of significant mileage gaps or sudden spikes indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods of neglect. While the MOT record is flawless, an in-person physical inspection should focus on common wear points for the Countryman model of this age. A buyer should examine the front suspension bushes and control arms for signs of cracking or perished rubber, as these often degrade over time regardless of mileage. Given the low annual mileage, checking the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting is advisable, as infrequent use can lead to oxidation on the rotors. Additionally, verifying the structural integrity of the underbody for any developing corrosion will ensure no hidden rust has developed despite the clean test history.
