Buying a used 2025 MINI Countryman? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 18 owner complaints on file

The 2025 MINI Countryman has 2 recalls in this group, addressing possible loss of brake power assist and an armrest that may detach in a crash. Brake repair documentation is particularly relevant because service brakes also appear in 7 of the 18 unverified owner complaints filed with NHTSA. Electrical systems account for 8 complaints, forward collision avoidance for 5 and unknown or other for 4. Reported totals include 3 crashes, 0 fires and 2 injuries, without establishing recall causation.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify brake power-assist recall completion and related repairs.
3. Confirm armrest recall completion by VIN.
4. Request records for electrical faults and collision-avoidance warnings.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any MINI dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
