I’ve an ‘05 R53 (S Convertable) with 163k miles on it. It hasn’t been completely trouble free but I love the car and for the most part have enjoyed working on it.

08 R56 Justa auto,192,000 and still going

Timing chain/valve seals/thermostat/Vanos at 120,000 are the essentially all it has needed.

210,000-ish on my ‘06 R52. I can’t take credit for all the miles though as I bought it with 206,000-ish miles on it almost 2 years ago. It’s a summer only fair weather vehicle now.

2011 base manual at 168,170 miles. In the last two years I have acquired three other cars for fun and as possible replacement of the MINI, but she's still the most fun and safe daily driver. 36+ mpg which is down from 38+ a few years ago. Never left me stranded. The worst she ever had was a valve cover gasket leak that allowed oil to wet one or two of the spark plugs, so she was weak and couldn't push past 80 mph. A steady coolant leak is under close monitoring. Otherwise the oil burning is OK. :-)

2007 S Sidewalk Edition manual. 247,000 miles. Just dropped $3374.00 for new clutch (replacing original), supercharger service, many oil leaks repaired, water pump gasket replaced, and a few other minor things. My wife really wants me to get a new car, but I just don't like the newer MINIs and I really don't want to take on a car payment either. I'm gonna keep driving this MINI until it can't be repaired anymore, but I'd probably be wise to try to find a cheap used back-up vehicle!

03 MCS. Bought in 2016 with 100,000 and just rolled to 189,000. Had a new clutch put in at 165,000. Love this car, hoping to pass to my youngest son in 2 years for him to have.

Original owner of 2003 R53 with a couple hundred miles over 150,000. It's always been a daily driver (first for the wife, now for me). Obviously, at around 10,000 miles per year, I don't accrue very many miles - a tank of gas lasts me almost 2 weeks.

I need to replace the valve cover gasket and upper strut mounts (again), both window regulators, fuel level sender, probably the sunroof track and a new set of tires.

I really like commuting in it but I miss when we used to road trip it. We're hoping to save it for when our daughter turns 16 in a few years. You know, teach her to drive an manual transmission on it.

08 bought new

We have 158000 on our 08 Cooper without any real problems. Replaced a sensor and a valve cover gasket and coil packs and plugs. Still on the original clutch too!
