What MINI Countryman do most buyers choose?

The MINI Countryman years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2026.

Most model years in the table are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it points to softer pricing across the lineup.

The 2024 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2024, 2021, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
