High Mileage

How much mileage is too much? How long do these cars seem to last? I'm looking for a daily driver. Found an 05 but it's got 200k on it.

If taken care of and maintained they will last. I have one guy with an R53 with over 280k on it
and a guy with an R50 that was at 330k last I saw it.

Should take a peak into this thread here. Lots of owners with high mileage MINI's in there. If it has been taken care of and things have been replaced when needed, you could be alright. With anything with that kind of mileage, you'll want to find out the maintenance records and get a PPI done by a MINI specialist if possible. Good luck!
