2014 MINI Countryman 1.6L Petrol · SW64 WYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in January 2026 at 108,758 miles resulted in a pass despite several minor failures involving inoperative light sources and an offside rear tyre reaching the legal wear limit. These defects suggest that the previous owner only addresses mechanical and consumable issues once they are flagged by the MOT tester rather than performing routine pre-test checks. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a notable period of activity between October 2024 and January 2026, where the car covered over 8,600 miles in just fifteen months. The failure in October 2024 at 99,996 miles due to a missing offside front anti-roll bar linkage indicates that the suspension is subjected to regular road stress, but the lack of recorded defects in the following tests suggests the core structural components remained stable during those specific intervals. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension components, as the previously anti-roll bar drop link failure in late 2024 often points to wider wear in rubber bushes and ball joints. The January 2026 report of uneven wear on the offside rear tyre warrants a check of the rear alignment and geometry to prevent rapid tyre degradation. Given the vehicle has now exceeded 100,000 miles, the chassis should also be examined for corrosion and the brake line integrity, as these areas were not detailed in the recent MOT history.
