What day of week was your MINI built and how reliable has it been? Im already concerned about having ordered a MINI Countryman S in terms of reliability and to my dismay my car was just built last FRIDAY. Which is widely known as the worst day to have a car built because workers are tired from week and ready for weekend.

So lets see if its true, what day was yours built and how reliable has it been?

 

I can get the calendar week and year from the odometer test menu 1.4
(0803 = eighth week in 2003), but not sure how to get the day of the week.

 

Built 10/24/2012 ( Wednesday) not a single issue to date. (22,000 miles)

Knock on wood

 

MINIs (at least the hard tops built in Oxford) take 8 days to be built.

 

I suppose the build date associated with a vin search is date completed.

 

Tuesday 8/21/2007. Makes me smile every day.

 

This site gave me the day, also, as well as all the options

27/2/2003 - a Thursday.
Only main problem was my Midlands recently crapping out after 11+ years.
Now it has a 6 speed Getrag with a Quaife LSD!!
A normal amount of other minor things over the years.

Interestingly, the build date stickers on the car say March 2003.

 

My R56 was built 13/9/2007 a Thursday as well! And my old R53 was 21/06/2003 a Saturday

 

Tuesday. Feb 5th 2013.

Had a boost pressure sensor fail at like 1200 miles fixed warranty
Drivers wiper chattering fixed myself

My car is odd though. It sat on a dealer lot for 15 months before I bought it. What a steal of a deal I got. They had to unload it and I just happen to be looking. Kept them adjusting the price for 2 weeks.

My date is 08/28/2010 -- Which is a saturday...

The only real problem I've had in the 57k that's on it is the HPFP.
