Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2014 model year cars.
- Clutch and Flywheel Wear (ALL4)Serious
Manual ALL4 Countrymans are heavy and can wear clutches and dual-mass flywheels much faster than a Hatch or Clubman.
- Timing Chain StretchSerious
Prince petrol engines in early Countryman models can stretch timing chains, especially on Cooper S cars serviced on long intervals.
- Thermostat Housing LeakModerate
The plastic thermostat assembly cracks and seeps coolant, a common issue made worse by the Countryman’s cramped engine bay.
