2019 MINI Countryman 1.5L Petrol · YA19 ABX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-28 at 36,749 miles recorded a PASS, but an identical date also shows a FAIL with no defects noted, creating ambiguity in the maintenance record. Previous tests from 2024-05-09 (32,256 miles) and 2023-05-12 (27,747 miles) were both PASS with no defects, suggesting a stable trend in roadworthiness. However, the 2023-05-11 FAIL at 27,746 miles—just one mile prior—indicates potential inconsistency in testing or reporting. No structural, suspension, or braking issues were flagged in the recorded tests, but the lack of detailed defect descriptions limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 36,749 miles over seven years equates to approximately 5,250 miles annually, below the UK average for its age. This low usage suggests infrequent operation, which could lead to component stiffness or fluid degradation if the car was stored for extended periods. The MOTs are spaced irregularly, with gaps of over a year between 2023 and 2024 tests, and again between 2024 and 2025. While no major faults were recorded, the absence of detailed technical findings in the reports prevents a thorough assessment of wear on consumables or mechanical systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage and potential for static wear. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as these can develop during periods of inactivity. The exhaust system and structural integrity also warrant scrutiny, as minor corrosion or fatigue may not have been captured in the MOT records. A professional inspection is advised to verify the vehicle’s condition, as the MOT history lacks specificity and the recent test’s conflicting outcomes raise questions about reliability.
