2011 Mini data recorder?
Does my 2011 Mini have a data recorder to record the vehicle speed prior to a crash where the airbags deployed?

Might have it. I know the dealership can see things like how many time started and stopped and faults.

I can see in manuals from 2013+ it has it stated.

Yes. Every car sold in the US does, although some such as Volkswagen were slower to implement.

According to Edmunds, In this article on event data recorders:

”Most event data recorders are programmed to record data in a continuous loop, writing over information again and again until a vehicle is in a front-end collision or other crash. When an accident occurs, the device automatically saves up to 5 seconds of data from immediately before, during and after an incident.”
Hope this helps answer your question!
