2011 Mini Countryman Cooper S All4
CarHunch analysed 182 real MOT records for the 2011 Mini Countryman Cooper S All4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 MINI COUNTRYMAN Cooper S All4 hits the UK average first-time pass rate at 80.5%, which is reassuring on paper—but 44% of these cars have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, making it a genuine concern for used-car buyers despite the headline reliability figure. Nearly half the fleet showing dangerous issues suggests you're looking at a model with potential structural, brake, or emissions problems that demand a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
These Countrymen average under 60,000 miles per year of use, which is typical for their age, yet they're accumulating 2.33 failures and 12.7 advisories per test—a high advisory count suggesting niggling electrical, suspension, or trim issues are common. Before buying, get an independent mechanic to check the brake system, suspension components, and any previous MOT advisory patterns on the specific car, as this model seems prone to incremental wear rather than catastrophic failure.
What to check before buying a 2011 Mini Countryman Cooper S All4
