Not to be confused with the mile high club!

I just bought a 13 cooper s.

I'd like to figure out what the limit may be for this baby.

So who is the champ for kilometers or miles racked up on their car?

 

I think someone with an R50 has 300k.

 

I've got a 100k that has plenty of life left in it. Before I got it I found tons of people with 200k plus so I could convince my mom to let me get a car that was over 100k.

Mine did have the transmission rebuilt before I got it but that's the only major service it's had.

As far as the body, it's holding up great. My cooper is an 03 and the seats are in great condition still. Leather. I don't know if mini does fabric but just in case. Oh I also have a CVT transmission. Everything else is in perfect running order. The two things with the most wear are my key and my glove box, which doesn't stay closed when I hit a bump anymore. But that seems to be common.

 

Post a pic of your odometer

 

2009 JCW with 95,000. Daily driver and still running great.

 

I'll post one tomorrow. Far too cold to venture outside right now.

That's impressive.

What's the most significant repair?

 

I think I saw a post on here with an R50 with over 500k miles. Gives me inspiration for my R53, which is at 119k with minimal issues.

 

Here's my pic

 

2008 MCS with 121k miles.

 

I have 28,000 on my 2012 MINI. I feel like the longer I own it the better it drives. So I'm guessing you could hang onto it a while if you really wanted to.

 

Super charger at 191000, still on origional clutch

Thats impressive !

Did you put all the miles on it?

 

great thread! i was wondering about this myself, love hearing you guys hitting 100k and 200k issue free

 

No, it had 5 miles on it when I picked it up

 

I look forward to doing the same.

Mine had 9 kms on it when I picked it up

 

Just enjoy the damned car.

 

I plan on it!

 

And don't take any more pictures while you are driving!

 

I'll try to refrain...
