2022 MINI Countryman 2.0L Petrol · SC72 KJV

A history of consistent roadworthiness defines this vehicle, despite a singular failure regarding tyre integrity in late 2025. The most recent inspection on 01 September 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a brief failure on 06 October 2025 due to a nearside front tyre having a cut deep enough to reach the ply or cords. Aside from this specific tyre defect, the test results show a stable pattern of compliance, with the previous inspection on 07 October 2025 also returning no recorded defects. The recorded mileage of 30,467 miles over approximately four years indicates a usage pattern of roughly 7,617 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK average annual mileage. This level of accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commuting or general transit rather than being subject to long periods of stationary storage. From a mechanical perspective, this consistent usage profile typically means that components such as the drivetrain, cooling system, and various rubber seals have been operated within their intended thermal and mechanical cycles, rather than suffering from the stagnation often seen in very low-mileage vehicles. Given that the only recorded failure was a structural defect in a tyre, the primary focus for a prospective buyer should be a physical inspection of the current tread depth and sidewall integrity on all four tyres to ensure no further cuts or bulges are present. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibration through the steering wheel, which could indicate uneven tyre wear or a suspected issue with a wheel bearing or suspension bush that may have been exacerbated by the same road conditions that caused the previous tyre damage. While the MOT records show no current issues with the braking system or suspension linkages, the absence of advisories for components like brake pads, discs, or shock absorbers should be verified through a practical assessment. Check for any pulling to one side under braking or any unusual knocking sounds when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as these would indicate wear in the suspension components or calipers that the MOT testing process may not have flagged as a failure at the time of testing.
