To counteract the posts that focus on MINI problems and issues I thought I would make a post dedicated to Higher mileage MINI's that have had no major issues. Basically please post here if you have a mini with more than 50,000 miles on it and you have not had to have any major repairs done on it.


I will start:

2007 Cooper "S" manual trans
53,000 miles

Nothing major to speak repair wise.

 

2k9 Justa with 52,000. Never a single issue!

 

2008 MCS manual transmission
94,000 miles

Timing chain tensioner and heat exchanger replaced under warranty (neither of which I consider major)

 

I dunno, if it's replaced out of warranty that's what I'd consider to be major. Of course, I measure major in $$$.

 

2007 MCS 70k on it next week and all I have had is the clutch pedal getting caught up. Replaced under warranty. I will be doing chain and tensioner on my own in a couple of weeks.

 

2008 MCS
69K

Nothing major so far that was the car's fault. Haha. Did have a hiccup where the dealer forgot to replace the oil drain plug rubber washer thing. Oh, I also had the tensioner replaced twice under warranty. The second time was just for peace of mind though.

 

2012 Justa. 900 miles, no problems so far! (knock wood!)

 

I am going to be replacing the tensioner, chain, and guide in a couple of weeks for peace of mind.

 

Good post!

 

I was told my coupe s just went into production today..Reading all the bad repair news had me a little worried.. Thanks for the thread...
