The MINI COUNTRYMAN (2020-24) 5DR SUV 2.0 178 GPF SS EU6 COOPER S BOARDWALK EDITION STEP AUTO7 is a compact five-door SUV combining MINI’s distinctive styling with a practical, raised-up shape compared with MINI hatchbacks. Its Cooper S petrol engine and automatic gearbox give it a livelier feel than rivals. Mycarcheck.com recorded 18 checks covering 15 different VINs, so these figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a full-market average. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £28,000 and average recorded mileage of 18,000 miles; annual mileage averaged 9,000, while the average number of previous keepers was 0.28. The low keeper average suggests checked examples often had limited ownership changes, though individual cars vary. The Countryman suits couples and small families wanting comfortable commuting, weekend-trip space and a distinctive cabin. Against the Audi Q2 and BMW X1, Boardwalk trim adds special-edition appeal, while MINI’s lively handling helps it stand out.
