Mini Countryman Brake Discs: The Part That Pads Depend On
On the Mini Countryman, discs and pads don't wear independently — neglect one and the other degrades faster too, which is exactly why what starts as a routine pad change frequently turns into a disc replacement as well.

Mini Countryman Brake Discs: What They Do
Brake discs provide the surface the brake pads clamp against to slow the car, converting momentum into heat through friction. Larger, sportier trims of the Countryman typically use bigger discs than standard versions to handle the additional heat generated by more aggressive braking.

A Genuinely Useful, Real Technique Worth Knowing About — Mini Countryman Brake Discs
If you're facing brake judder and assuming full disc replacement is the only option, this is genuinely worth knowing: skimming the discs while they remain fitted to the car, rather than replacing them entirely, is a genuinely cheaper option that can also be more accurate, since it corrects for any distortion contributed by the hub itself, not just the disc surface.
It's also genuinely worth knowing that not properly cleaning the caliper pistons before fitting new pads can push accumulated rust and grime into the caliper's seal, causing it to stick — worth cleaning this area thoroughly during any pad change. It's also worth knowing that the clearance between the pads and disc is designed to be extremely small, almost a light rub, rather than a generous gap.
