ANALYSISHow safe is the 2019 Mini Countryman?
The 2019 Mini Countryman has not undergone crash testing by NHTSA, leaving its federal safety record to be assessed solely through its recall and complaint data. Two recall campaigns have been issued for this model year. One addresses a fuel pump crash protection issue, while the other concerns a crankshaft sensor firmware problem. Ten owner complaints have been registered, with the engine being the most frequent subject of these allegations. This recall and complaint volume places the 2019 Countryman in the Light burden band, indicating a lower level of reported federal activity compared to other vehicles. This classification reflects administrative volume, not crash performance. For those seeking crash-test context, the 2023 and 2024 Countryman models each received a Safety Index score of 85, but these figures are from different model years and test conditions, and do not apply to the 2019 model.

The second involves the engine and engine cooling system, flagging a potentially incorrect crankshaft sensor firmware.
