Cooper Only... Who's been problem free?

OK, here's a follow-up to my other post:

How many miles has your Cooper (non-S) gone (from the time it was new) with no defect or warranty issues?

Again, I only want defects not worn parts or stuff that you broke.

Thanks to all who have contributed!

2 x 22,000 miles = 44,000 miles.

No problemos.

Bought my car a few months ago ('04 with 45k miles now) and need to take it in. Nothing major.... a sticking window, a little button on the overhead broke, the badge chipped and needs replaced.

I only have around 6500 miles so far, but they've all been 100% trouble free. I don't even have rattles!

19000 miles on our 2006 Cooper CVT.

Not a single warranty repair, but they did change out the cabin air filter and rear wiper blade on request when the car got its 15k service.

And not a single rattle either.
