Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Countryman.
The 2025 Mini Countryman pairs an automatic AM-S7 transmission with EPA-estimated fuel economy of 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. This model year has already generated 17 owner complaints—the highest tally in the nameplate’s 2017–2026 history—alongside two recalls, with the top issue area classified as Unknown or Other. That complaint count marks a sharp rise from the single complaint logged for the 2023 model year, signaling a notable reliability dip that warrants attention.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Mini Countryman represents a sharp anomaly in an otherwise improving complaint trajectory for this generation. From 2021 through 2024, NHTSA complaints trended steadily downward from 2 to 1 annually with zero recalls in the final three years; the 2025 model year breaks that pattern decisively with 17 complaints and 2 recalls, the highest complaint count since 2018. TSBs also spiked to 48 in 2025 after climbing from 8–12 to 41 in 2024, suggesting increased dealer-level service activity. The top complaint categories—service brakes, brake/ESC integration, and an electrical/fuel system report—lack a common root cause specified in the data, though the "Unknown/Other" category (3 complaints) indicates unresolved or ambiguous diagnoses. Notably, 2026 already shows a return to baseline (2 complaints, 2 recalls), implying the 2025 issues were either model-year-specific production problems or early-reporting noise that normalized. With 2 crash-related complaints and zero fire complaints, the safety signal is present but not catastrophic. The 2025 Countryman sits at the peak of a complaint arc that quickly corrects the following year, making it a year to approach with caution—potential value exists if the 2025-specific issues were addressed under warranty, but thorough pre-purchase inspection of the brake system and electrical components is strongly advisable before committing.
