Hybrid against the other MINI Countryman versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 90.5% | 61,284 |

Why the fuel type changes the number
Hybrids sidestep most emissions failures and tend to do lighter urban miles, though the extra weight tells on tyres and brakes.
On the MINI Countryman specifically, petrol is the strongest at 90.5%, and this hybrid version sits 0.3 points above the 89.4% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average hybrid MINI Countryman had covered 47,426 miles at test, against 40,074 for the petrol and 65,939 for the diesel. That is below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the MINI Countryman page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
