2019 MINI Countryman 1.5L Petrol · PL19 NWS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive consumable replacement. The most recent test in January 2026 at 73,468 miles flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being near the legal limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors a finding from January 2024 at 38,274 miles, suggesting the owner consistently ignores tyres until the inspection threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. There was a significant jump in usage between January 2024 and January 2026, where the car covered over 35,000 miles in a single year, followed by a more moderate interval of 20,000 miles in the preceding year. The failure in January 2023 at 21,604 miles due to a missing wheel fixing and a defective wiper blade represents minor oversight that was rectified immediately for the subsequent pass. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring uneven edge wear on the front tyres suggests potential issues with worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking. The perishing of the offside rear tyre noted in 2025 also indicates age-related rubber degradation which may occur if the vehicle sits for extended periods. While no structural corrosion or brake failures have appeared, the repeated focus on tyres suggests that a thorough physical check of the brake pads and disc thickness is necessary to ensure no hidden wear has been overlooked.
