2011 Mini Countryman Cooper D All4 Auto
CarHunch analysed 128 real MOT records for the 2011 Mini Countryman Cooper D All4 Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 MINI Countryman Cooper D All4 Auto passes its MOT first time at 83.2%, which is above the UK average of 80%, but nearly 27% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a notably high figure that warrants a pre-purchase inspection. Diesel engines in this generation are generally robust, but the dangerous defect rate is a genuine concern for buyers.
These cars average just under 56,000 miles for their age, suggesting moderate use, yet they accumulate an average of 10 advisories per test, indicating wear across multiple systems rather than isolated problems. Before buying, have a trusted mechanic specifically check the emissions system and suspension components, as these are where Countrymen of this age typically rack up costly repairs.
