Comprehensive Guide to Buying a Mini Countryman in the UK

Mini Countryman Buying Guide (2010-Present)

2010 - 2016 Mini Countryman

First released in 2010, the Mini Countryman is a compact SUV offering a sporty drive, unique styling, and premium features.

Pros:
  • Strong build quality
  • Effectively handles corners
  • Luxury interior
Cons:
  • Narrow rear seat
  • High running costs
  • Entries of the boot could be better

What to look for: Check for any signs of wear and tear on the interior and exterior. The Mini Countryman has fairly high running costs due to its premium build, so be prepared for this when buying a used model.

2017 - Present Mini Countryman

This model boasts significant improvements over its predecessor, making it more spacious and practical. It's particularly well-suited for families.

Pros:
  • Impressive infotainment system
  • Multiple engine options
  • Excellent fuel efficiency
  • Generous boot space
Cons:
  • Rear visibility is limited
  • Slightly clunky manual gearbox

What to look out for: Ensure that all the electronic gadgets are working smoothly as repairs can be costly. Check the condition of the manual gearbox if you're considering a manual model.

Competitors

The Mini Countryman faces stiff competition from cars like the Audi Q2, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and BMW X1.

In my opinion, Carsnitch offers a great tool to find the history of any car for free. This could be extremely helpful when buying a used Mini Countryman, allowing you to view any previous issues and verify its history.

Representative example: borrowing £6,500 over 5 years with a representative APR of 19.9%, an annual interest rate of 19.9% (Fixed) and a deposit of £0.00, the amount payable would be £166.07 per month, with a total cost of credit of £3,464.37 and a total amount payable of £9,964.37.
