Buying a used 2020 MINI Countryman? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2020 MINI Countryman has 2 recalls in this group, both addressing hybrid battery fire risks, with one title specifically identifying a plug-in hybrid battery and the other identifying battery debris. Confirming VIN applicability and completed remedies is central to reviewing this record. NHTSA lists 6 owner complaints, all unverified reports, including 2 for the engine and 1 each for steering, electrical systems and fuel/propulsion. The reported totals are 0 crashes, 0 fires and 1 injury.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Check VIN applicability and completion for both battery recalls.
- Request battery inspection and recall repair records.
- Ask about engine, steering and electrical-system problems.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any MINI dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
