A quick eligibility check
Your Countryman PHEV may qualify if…
These are common indicators under California's Song-Beverly Act. An attorney reviews the full repair and warranty history before determining whether the firm can take a case.
You bought or leased the vehicle in California.
The problem arose while a manufacturer warranty covered the vehicle.
The dealer has had repeated repair opportunities, or the vehicle has spent significant time in the shop.
The defect continues and substantially affects the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

Why a warranty isn't enough
Your warranty vs. the lemon law
If covered problems persist after repair attempts, an attorney can review whether California's lemon law provides a remedy.
The manufacturer's warranty
- Describes which defects and repairs the manufacturer covers.
- Sets coverage terms, including time and mileage limits.
- Your warranty documents and repair orders help establish what happened and when.
California's lemon law
- May provide a remedy when a covered substantial defect remains after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
- A qualifying case may lead to a buyback, a replacement, or a negotiated cash settlement.
- Warranty expiration alone does not settle whether you have a claim. An attorney can review your repair history and deadlines.
- When you win, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees — not you.

Mini Countryman PHEV Lemon Law FAQ
My Countryman PHEV qualifies for HOV lane stickers but keeps breaking down. Does Lemon Law help?
Yes, the Song-Beverly Act applies to your Countryman PHEV regardless of its HOV lane eligibility status. If the vehicle has a substantial defect that MINI cannot repair, you are entitled to a refund or replacement. The HOV sticker is tied to the vehicle and would transfer if you receive a replacement of the same model.
The hybrid system in my Countryman PHEV switches modes erratically. Is this a covered defect?
Erratic switching between electric and gasoline modes indicates a defect in the hybrid control system, which is covered under the manufacturer warranty. Under Song-Beverly, this type of defect can substantially impair both the safety and use of your vehicle, particularly if it causes unexpected acceleration or deceleration behavior.
Can I claim diminished value for my Countryman PHEV under California Lemon Law?
The Song-Beverly Act provides for either a replacement or refund, not diminished value specifically. However, if you accept a repurchase, the refund amount covers the full purchase price minus a usage offset, effectively compensating for any value loss. Separate diminished value claims may be pursued through other legal theories if applicable.
MINI says the PHEV battery degradation is normal. How do I challenge this for my Lemon Law claim?
Request MINI's official battery performance specifications and compare them to your vehicle's actual performance data. If your battery capacity or range has dropped significantly below the warranted threshold within the coverage period, this is a defect, not normal degradation. Independent testing by a qualified EV technician can provide evidence to counter MINI's position in your Song-Beverly claim.
