Our Verdict
Approach with caution — this 2015 MINI Countryman diesel passed its most recent MOT but failed the day before with several minor faults now rectified. Budget for imminent suspension, brake, and corrosion work given the pattern in its test history.
Ask the seller for proof that the 2025-08-13 failure items (nearside front indicator colour, both rear registration plate lamps, and TPMS) were genuinely repaired rather than temporarily fixed before the retest. A full service history is important on this 1995cc diesel to confirm timing belt, oil, and filter intervals have been kept, as no model aggregate reliability data is available to offset the MOT concerns. Use the listed advisories — front brake imbalance, split strut top rubbers, and worn anti-roll bar bushes — as negotiation points, as these are not expensive individually but indicate deferred maintenance.
As a 2015 2.0 diesel MINI, this Countryman will typically fall into a mid Band C-E VED range (around £35-£165 annually depending on exact CO2, confirm with seller) and a moderate insurance group for a small SUV. Real-world diesel economy of 45-55 mpg is realistic at 67k miles, keeping fuel costs reasonable for a car of this size. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance is around £1,200-£1,500, before any corrective work for the MOT-flagged wear.
Inspect the front braking system closely: the 2025 tests noted slight imbalance between front service brakes and 'requirements only just met', so check pad and disc condition beyond the scored offside rear disc already flagged. Examine the rear subframe for the corrosion noted at the last MOT and look at the anti-roll bar D-bushes and strut top rubbers (both fronts starting to split) for progression since August 2025. Verify the bonnet release cable is properly clipped, the TPMS functions, and that both rear plate lamps and the nearside front indicator show correct colour and operation as per the failed test.
SA15OKF is a March 2015 blue 2.0-litre diesel MINI Countryman showing 67,745 miles, which is modest for an 11-year-old car. The MOT history includes one failure in August 2025 for indicator colour, number plate lamps, and TPMS faults, all cleared at a retest the next day, plus a clean 2022 test. Recurring advisories on brakes, anti-roll bar bushes, strut tops, and rear subframe corrosion suggest wear that will need attention.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the MINI Countryman, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's individual history.
