2017 MINI Countryman 2.0L Diesel · SM67 ARU

The 2017 MINI Countryman shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 28 October 2025, roughly eight months before the current date of 9 July 2026, recorded at 96,709 miles with no defects. Prior annual examinations in October 2024, 2023, and 2022 each returned passes with no advisories. On 26 October 2022 the ledger lists both a failure and a pass at 63,962 miles, both with no faults noted, pointing to a same-day retest or data anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. Mileage progression sits within expected bounds for a nine-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 63,962 miles in October 2022, climbed to 75,669 by October 2023, 85,120 by October 2024, and 96,709 by October 2025. This steady annual gain of around 10,700 miles mirrors typical private use. No gaps or abrupt accumulation appear in the sequence. The unbroken series of clear tests suggests owners adhered to statutory maintenance, though absence of recorded advisories on consumables like tyres does not confirm their present condition. Prospective buyers should still arrange a hands-on inspection of age-sensitive components not surfaced by the MOT. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends for play or cracking. Check brake discs for scoring and calipers for binding. Assess structural areas such as sills, subframes, and exhaust mountings for corrosion. The drivetrain at 96,709 miles may exhibit worn engine mounts or degraded emissions hardware; verify with a road test. Tyres and wiper blades likely replaced off-record, so confirm tread and rubber condition physically.
