Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage MINI Countryman. The consistent MOT pass record without defects suggests a vehicle that has met minimum legal standards consistently over the last five years.
Given the clean MOT history, your primary focus should be on verifying the actual service history, as MOT records only confirm the vehicle met minimum safety standards at the time of testing. Ask the seller for a stamped service book or digital records to confirm oil changes and major component inspections have been carried out according to MINI's schedule.
When negotiating, check if any major scheduled maintenance is due soon, such as spark plug replacements or brake fluid changes. Because the mileage is relatively low for a 2018 vehicle, ensure that any rubber components or tyres are not showing signs of age-related perishing despite having plenty of tread.
As a 1.5L petrol model, this Countryman typically sits in a moderate insurance group and offers reasonable fuel economy for a compact SUV. You should expect typical maintenance costs to align with premium small SUVs, with periodic costs for consumables like tyres and brake pads.
Annual running costs will be heavily influenced by your driving habits and insurance profile, but you should budget for fuel, tax, and a sinking fund for routine servicing. Based on the current mileage and model type, an estimated annual budget is required to cover these regular outgoings.
While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model shows that brake pads, tyres, and windscreen wipers are the most common reasons for failure. It is wise to inspect the remaining tread depth on the tyres and the thickness of the brake pads during a physical viewing.
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the washer system to ensure they are functioning correctly. Given the 1.5L petrol engine, a thorough check of the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks is also a standard recommendation for this model type.
This 2018 MINI Countryman (YH18AAF) presents with 43,029 miles on the clock, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,797 miles per year. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes from 2022 to 2026, notably with no defects recorded in any of these tests. This specific petrol 1.5L model has maintained a clean testing record throughout its eight-year lifespan.
Aggregate data from over 100,000 vehicles shows an 88.2% MOT pass rate for this model, with common issues relating to wear-and-tear items like brakes and tyres.
