I'm curious...

I have several vehicles so my mini doesn't get driven as often as I would like. I imagine there are others that have the same situation. So, what is the year of your mini and what is the mileage?

Mine is an '09 with 15,130 miles so I'm averaging 5,000 miles/year.

 

Just took my wife's 2011 in for it's one year service, it is at 2900 miles.

 

Wife's '05 has just turned 30k.

 

06 with 45k....I lose.

 

There was an '02 S in Portland, OR a while back that was for sale with about 700 miles on it.

There's currently a green 2002 on eBay with about 7k on it.

People! What gives? I've had my 2013 MINI 3 weeks & have 2100 miles on it. And, I carpool with my husband in HIS vehicle 10 miles to the office every day. Road trip anyone?

 

I've had my 06 R53 less than a month and racked up 2200 miles...woops...

 

Our 08 was just 4 years when we traded him in, he did about 6100 miles a year.

 

I read a typical driver in the U.S. will do around 15,000 miles per year. The average miles driven per year for a mini is around 7,500. This indicates the mini is not generally used for a daily driver.

 

2004 R53 JCW now has 44k on it, or 5,500 a year. On the other hand my 2011 Mercedes E550 I bought my wife rolled off the showroom floor with 10 miles on it and two days later had 1,100 miles on it. Vegas road trip, and the wife didn't even go.....

 

2006 W/19.5K miles- 3.5 mile commute to work really helps make my car stay young.

 

You all are missing out! You need to drive more.

I've a 2003 MCS with 27 600 miles. No winters or inclement weather. If plans pan-out, I'll still be putting in the miles going to shows/meets 20 years from now! By the way, British Car Day, Sept.16 Bronte Creek Provincial Park,
20 min. drive west of Toronto, ( literally 1000's of Brit. cars ), new Minis' welcome. See you there!!!!

 

If I had a very short daily commute, I'd find another way to work. Like thru Ohio.

 

But there's nothing good in Ohio

 

'09 with 6800, '10 with 7100, '12 with 2900. Taking the '12 out today. Never too many cars, but definitely too few hours.

 

I go thru western PA or WV to get there. Twisties !

 

Bought my '08 with 29k on it at the very end of May. So I've had it about 3 months now, and have put about 800 miles on it. It's not my DD, and since we've had a fairly dry summer, I've been grabbing the keys to my Miata a lot.

 

My '02 MCS has approx 13,200 miles. Owned since new.

 

Shame on you !!

 

Well that has me beat.

My 2002 March build MCS has almost 113k km (70K+ miles)

 

My '05 MCS has just passed 20K miles. I just got it - will be a daily driver.

 

I bought my 03 MINI Cooper back in January 2010 with 12,000 miles
Right now it has about 34,000 miles on the clock

 

2009 JCW bought new on 11-28-08. So almost 4 years old. 33,000 miles. Sits in my garage most of the time these days. I put about 5000 miles on it in the last year.

 

My 06 has 22,000kms
