Common Problem

TL;DR
• Common issues include engine mounts, water pump, thermostat, and SOS malfunction. • Reliability has improved over previous generations, but some problems persist.
Engine Mounts and Vibrations
One of the recurring issues with the MINI Countryman, including the 2021 model, is related to engine mounts. Owners have reported needing to replace engine mounts as early as 20,000 miles. This problem can be attributed to the rough running nature of the engine, especially in models with three cylinders, which can cause mounts to tear and lead to leaks.
Water Pump and Thermostat Failures
The water pump and thermostat are common points of failure in the MINI Countryman. These issues have been noted across different model years, including the 2019 Cooper S Countryman and earlier R60 models. While improvements have been made in newer models, these components still appear to be problematic for some owners.
SOS Malfunction
A unique issue reported with the 2021 MINI Countryman involves the SOS system malfunctioning, where it continuously calls the SOS line without user initiation. This problem may be due to installation errors or loose connections, and requires dealership intervention to resolve.
Brake Pad Warning Reset Issues
Another technical issue involves difficulties resetting the brake pad warning after replacement. Some owners have found that once the warning hits a certain threshold, it becomes locked and requires a visit to a MINI dealership for reset. This can be an inconvenience if you prefer DIY maintenance.
Overall Reliability
Despite these issues, many users report that the reliability of the F series MINI Countryman has improved significantly compared to previous generations ,. The S models are noted to be more reliable than the standard versions. However, the reputation for high maintenance costs persists, partly due to comparisons with brands like Toyota and Honda.
