Our Verdict
This 2015 white MINI Countryman (SC51SGC) is a sensible used buy with a largely clean test history and very low annual mileage. The only caution is a single 2022 MOT failure that was quickly corrected the next day, so check the proof of repair before purchase.
Before buying, ask the seller for the September 2022 repair invoice confirming the electronic braking system fault, all four tyres and rear brake pads were addressed, since the failure on 2022-09-07 was cleared at the 2022-09-08 retest. A full service history for this 1598cc petrol model should be reviewed to confirm routine oil changes and cam-belt interval compliance, as none is summarised in the supplied data. Given the very low mileage, negotiate on the basis that aged rubber and fluids may still need refreshing despite the low odometer, and verify the white paintwork and body panels are free from urban parking damage.
As a 2015 1.6-litre petrol MINI Countryman, road tax is likely in the lower bands for its era, though the exact band is not stated in the supplied data; insurance group details are also not provided but MINIs typically sit in moderate groups. Fuel economy for this engine variant is reasonable for a small SUV, and with under 1,000 miles annually the fuel bill will be modest. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance is around £800-£1,000, skewed lower by the tiny mileage but potentially raised by aged-component replacement.
Inspect the braking system closely given the 2022 failure for rear brake pads wearing thin and an electronic braking system warning device fault, ensuring the warning light is absent and pad thickness is healthy. All four tyres were noted as slightly damaged or perishing in 2022, so check the current tyres for cracking, age and tread depth even though the 2025 test recorded no defects. As a low-mileage 11-year-old vehicle, examine underbody and suspension bushes for age-related deterioration and confirm the white bodywork and 1598cc engine bay are free from corrosion or fluid leaks not captured in MOT data.
The vehicle shows a consistent and low mileage record, rising from 37,404 miles at the 2022 failure to just 40,286 miles in September 2025, averaging under 1,000 miles per year. MOT history is mostly clean, with passes in 2023, 2024 and 2025 showing no defects, and a 2022 failure limited to tyre perishing, thin rear brake pads and a brake warning fault that was retested and passed within a day. As a 1.6-litre petrol Countryman first registered in January 2015, it presents as a lightly used example with no recurring mechanical issues recorded in the data.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the MINI Countryman, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's test history.
