MINI Countryman MOT history & failure rates

Run a free MOT history check on any MINI Countryman and see every recorded test, every advisory and every mileage reading. The data comes straight from the DVSA — the same source the testing centres feed.

What's in the MINI Countryman MOT record

Type the registration of any UK MINI Countryman suv or crossover and we'll display every annual MOT test the DVSA holds. That includes the pass/fail outcome, the recorded mileage at each test, every advisory note (so you can see what the tester flagged for the next visit) and the failure reasons in detail when an attempt didn't pass. The MOT history is the strongest mileage paper-trail in the UK and the cheapest piece of due diligence available before any used-car purchase.

What MOT history tells you about a Countryman

Across UK Countrymans, the most useful patterns to look for are: a clean run of advisory-free tests on a younger car (it's been cared for); recurring advisories on the same component (something was nursed and never properly fixed); a fail with a same-day re-test pass (the seller fixed it cheaply at the testing centre); and any year-on-year mileage drop (a strong signal of clocking that the MOT trail is uniquely placed to expose).

EV-specific MOT considerations

Fully-electric Countrymans skip the engine emissions and oil-leak items, but the MOT still checks brakes, suspension, steering, lights and tyres. EVs typically run softer brake usage thanks to regen, so brake wear advisories tend to come up later in life — but tyre wear arrives sooner because of higher kerb weight and instant torque. Check both in the historic record.
