Oldest Mini's with the LEAST amount of mileage.
 
I'm curious...

I have several vehicles so my mini doesn't get driven as often as I would like. I imagine there are others that have the same situation. So, what is the year of your mini and what is the mileage?

Mine is an '09 with 15,130 miles so I'm averaging 5,000 miles/year.

Just took my wife's 2011 in for it's one year service, it is at 2900 miles.

Wife's '05 has just turned 30k.

06 with 45k....I lose.

There was an '02 S in Portland, OR a while back that was for sale with about 700 miles on it.

There's currently a green 2002 on eBay with about 7k on it.

People! :eek2: What gives? I've had my 2013 MINI 3 weeks & have 2100 miles on it. And, I carpool with my husband in HIS vehicle 10 miles to the office every day. Road trip anyone?

Our 08 was just 4 years when we traded him in, he did about 6100 miles a year.

I read a typical driver in the U.S. will do around 15,000 miles per year. The average miles driven per year for a mini is around 7,500. This indicates the mini is not generally used for a daily driver.

2004 R53 JCW now has 44k on it, or 5,500 a year. On the other hand my 2011 Mercedes E550 I bought my wife rolled off the showroom floor with 10 miles on it and two days later had 1,100 miles on it. Vegas road trip, and the wife didn't even go.....

2006 W/19.5K miles- 3.5 mile commute to work really helps make my car stay young.

If I had a very short daily commute, I'd find another way to work. Like thru Ohio.

'09 with 6800, '10 with 7100, '12 with 2900. Taking the '12 out today. Never too many cars, but definitely too few hours.

Bought my '08 with 29k on it at the very end of May. So I've had it about 3 months now, and have put about 800 miles on it. It's not my DD, and since we've had a fairly dry summer, I've been grabbing the keys to my Miata a lot.

Right now it has about 34,000 miles on the clock :)
