2017 MINI Countryman 2.0L Petrol · S99 ACJ

This 2017 MINI Countryman presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 12 February 2026 at 38,545 miles returning a pass with zero defects. The preceding four tests, spanning from June 2022 through May 2025, also passed without any advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep across multiple ownership periods. No recurring faults, corrosion concerns, or emissions issues have surfaced at any point in the recorded history. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light use. Over approximately nine years, the vehicle has covered 38,545 miles, averaging roughly 4,283 miles per year. The intervals between tests show steady but modest progression: 26,068 miles in June 2022, 29,553 in May 2023, 33,422 in May 2024, 36,053 in May 2025, and 38,545 in February 2026. The gap between the May 2025 and February 2026 tests is notably short at just 2,492 miles over nine months, suggesting the vehicle may have seen reduced use recently or was presented for an early retest. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would raise odometer fraud concerns. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, and deteriorated rubber bushes or seals that a single annual test may not fully expose. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on suspension components, subframes, and brake lines, as short-trip use accelerates moisture retention and rust formation. Check tyre age and condition carefully, since rubber degrades with time regardless of tread depth. The exhaust system and DPF, if fitted, deserve attention given that infrequent longer journeys can lead to soot accumulation and incomplete regeneration cycles. A test drive over varied road surfaces will reveal any latent suspension knocks or steering irregularities that a stationary inspection might miss.
