MINI Countryman Depreciation & Resale Value

MINI Countryman keeps an estimated 58% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #240 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the MINI Countryman retains an estimated 58% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #240 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the MINI Countryman sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $32,650 it falls to around $19,067 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,583, about $7.44 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used MINI Countryman bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
