2013 MINI Countryman Cooper SD 2.0L Diesel · WT06 AVS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a successful repair cycle after a minor failure. The most recent MOT conducted in August 2025 at 169,526 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in April 2024 at 158,303 miles, the subsequent pass just one month later suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified issues to maintain road legality. The mileage profile reflects a consistent high-use pattern, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. There is a significant gap of 17,710 miles between December 2020 and December 2022, followed by another 24,605 miles in the two years leading to the 2024 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle was used regularly for motorway travel, which typically reduces stress on drivetrain components compared to the stop-and-start wear seen in low-mileage city vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as the high mileage often accelerates the degradation of rubber bushes, control arms, and coil springs. Given the 2024 failure, a close check for signs of binding calipers or uneven brake pad wear is advisable to ensure the previous repair remains effective. The structural integrity of the chassis should be examined for corrosion, particularly on a diesel Countryman of this age, though the MOT record does not currently flag any structural weaknesses or significant rust.
