2017 MINI Countryman 2.0L Petrol · SW17 YEU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 65,629 miles passed, it introduced an advisory for an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit with edge wear. This indicates a lapse in basic consumable inspections or an alignment issue following the clean report received in March 2025 at 57,053 miles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per annum. There is a notable cluster of activity between February 2025 and March 2025, where the car covered only 53 miles between two separate tests. This short interval resulted in a re-test that highlighted multiple mechanical concerns, including pitted brake discs and a deteriorating rear prop shaft flexible coupling. Between the February 2024 and March 2025 tests, the vehicle covered roughly 7,100 miles, suggesting the car is used at regular, predictable intervals. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system and drivetrain components. The February 2025 test flagged pitted brake discs and a non-excessive oil leak, which require monitoring to ensure the leak does not progress rapidly. The deteriorated rear prop shaft flexible coupling noted in 2025 is a potential source of vibration or failure under acceleration. Furthermore, the edge wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2026 necessitates a professional check of the wheel alignment and suspension bushes to prevent premature wear of replacement tyres.
