The 2025 Mini Countryman has not been crash-tested by NHTSA. Prospective buyers seeking crash-test data for reference may note that the 2024 and 2023 Mini Countryman models each achieved a Safety Index of 85; these results, however, do not apply to the 2025 model.

The vehicle registers 17 unverified owner complaints, with a notable concentration in the Electrical System and Service Brakes. The 2025 Mini Countryman's combined recall and complaint volume places it in the Light burden band, indicating a relatively low volume compared to the general vehicle population in federal records.
NHTSA // RECALLSDoes the 2025 Mini Countryman have any recalls?
The 2025 Mini Countryman carries two recall campaigns. The first targets the side and thorax airbag system, specifically an armrest support bracket issue on Countryman S ALL4 and JCW Countryman ALL4 variants. The second addresses the Electronic Stability Control system and spans a broad range of 2023 through 2025 BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce vehicles.
