Buyer's Guide & Inspection Advisory
Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Recommended. This is a late-model exampl
The primary point for negotiation is the condition of the front tyres; the September 2025 MOT specifically flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. Confirm if these have been replaced since the test.
Ensure the service history is complete for the 1.5L petrol engine to verify that oil changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of deterioration from infrequent use, such as battery health or brake disc surface corrosion.
The 1499cc Euro 6 petrol engine is designed for a balance of urban efficiency and motorway capability. As a Euro 6 AP vehicle, it meets modern emissions standards, which helps avoid charges in many low-emission zones.
Insurance costs for the Countryman typically fall into mid-range groups. Maintenance costs are generally predictable for this engine size, though owners should budget for premium tyre replacements, as indicated by the recent MOT advisories. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Inspect the front tyres immediately to see if the 'worn on edge' issue noted in the 2025 MOT has been rectified. If the tyres are still the same, this is a direct cost for the buyer.
Following model aggregate data, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and brake pads, as these are among the top failure reasons for this model. Finally, examine the blue exterior paintwork for any stone chips or scratches that may have occurred during its 21,286 miles of use.
This 2021 Blue MINI Countryman (RA71ABV) has recorded 21,286 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. The vehicle has passed both of its recorded MOT tests, with the most recent test noting advisories regarding front tyre wear. It fits the profile of a low-use vehicle, aligning with the model's general reliability trends.
The Countryman demonstrates a solid reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 88.2% across 100,661 analysed vehicles.
