Our Verdict

This 2020 MINI Countryman presents a ver

When inspecting this Countryman, verify that the tyre replacement noted during the October 2023 MOT was matched with quality rubber across the axle. Although the vehicle has a straightforward history since that single failure, request a full documentary service history to confirm that routine oil changes and spark plug replacements have been carried out in line with MINI's schedule for the 2.0-litre petrol engine. Check the bodywork around the silver paint for any parking dings or stone chips typical of everyday crossover use.

Negotiation should focus on confirming the condition of consumable items such as brake pads and windscreen wipers, which rank among the top failure reasons for this model nationally. Ensure all electronic cabin features, climate control zones, and infotainment systems operate correctly during your test drive. Confirm that the two-litre engine runs smoothly from cold and that the automatic or manual transmission shifts cleanly without hesitation.

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.

First registered in October 2020 and finished in silver, this MINI Countryman features a 1998.0cc petrol engine meeting Euro 6 AP standards. The vehicle has recorded five tests in total, starting with a failure on 2023-10-11 due to a cut nearside rear tyre reaching the cords, which was promptly rectified before passing the following day. Since then, tests in October 2024, October 2025, and April 2026 have all resulted in clean passes with zero defects or advisories recorded.

MINI Countryman models demonstrate a solid overall performance with an average MOT pass rate of 88.3% across more than 100,000 analysed vehicles, though buyers should watch out for common wear items like windscreen wipers, brake pads, and tyres.
