2017 MINI Countryman 1.5L Petrol · SR66 AXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on January 21, 2026, at 107,111 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the immediate failure due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring indicates that suspension components are now reaching their fatigue limit. Prior to this failure, the vehicle maintained a clean record with no recorded defects, suggesting that primary mechanical systems were held to a standard over the previous three years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 32,241 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 10,700 miles annually. The interval between tests remains regular, showing the vehicle has been used consistently rather than being left stationary for long periods. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has seen typical motor road use, which typically leads to predictable wear on rubber-mounted bushings and drivetrain components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension assembly, as the failure of a rear coil spring at 107,000 miles often precedes issues with other related components like shock absorbers and control arms. Check for signs of oil leakage on the dampers and excessive play in the suspension ball joints. Given the age and age of the Countryman, also verify the condition of the brake discs for corrosion and the integrity of the exhaust mounting brackets to ensure the recent spring failure has not caused secondary damage to the underbody.
