2020 MINI Countryman 2.0L Petrol · SL70 AOU

Equipped with a 1998.0cc petrol engine complying with Euro 6 AP emissions standards, this Countryman should be exempt from standard London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charges and similar Clean Air Zones across the UK. Fuel economy for this larger petrol engine variant typically sits in the mid-30s to low-40s mpg depending on driving style and urban versus motorway split. Insurance falls into a moderate-to-high group typical for a premium brand 2.0-litre crossover.

Road tax will apply at standard government rates for vehicles registered after April 2017. Typical annual maintenance costs should remain manageable given the low recorded mileage, but budget for routine servicing and consumable replacements (such as tyres and brakes). Estimated annual running costs are projected between £1,400 and £1,800, heavily dependent on your annual mileage and insurance profile.

Pay close attention to the tyres, as the vehicle's only recorded MOT failure (on 11 October 2023) involved a nearside rear tyre with a cut reaching the cords. Inspect all four tyres for tread depth, uneven wear patterns, and side-wall damage. Check the wheels for curb scuffs.

Examine the braking system thoroughly during a test drive. Brake pads and discs are among the most common failure points for this model nationally, so listen for any squealing or grinding and check the service records for recent replacement intervals. Finally, inspect the windscreen for any chips or pitting that could develop into MOT failures.
