How Old & How Many Miles On Your MINI

I thought it would be fun to start a thread for M2C2 members on how old is your MINI and how many miles do you have.

I know one of our members Whskysouth has over 100,000 miles on his MINI and it is looking good.

My 2002 MCS will turn 3 years old 10/01 and just turned 70,000 miles this week.

I do think my MINI still looks good and runs great. Here is a picture from today.

MINI5280 (not M2C2 sorry)2002 with 52,500 miles. A neighbor commented to me "Your 3 year old MINI looks better than my 3 month old MINI!" She's got two little kids and they are kind of rough on her car .

She's 1 year and 4 months old and I think about 13,600 miles.... I haven't seen her in 3.5 weeks () so thats just an educated guess

Mine has a build date of Oct '02, but I didn't get it until March of '03. It's got 33,000 on it and ran great until the dealer upgraded my software about 4000 miles ago.

40 months of MINI ownership!

I had a 2002 Cooper (pre-specd by MINIUSA, March build, April delivery) on which I put 18,500 miles. Fantastic car in every way with only 2 very minor problems.

Sold it and bought a 2003 Cooper S (April build, May delivery). The JCW kit was added in September with 7000+ miles on the clock. Two years and 4 months after taking delivery, I have 45,000 glorious miles on the odo :smile: . The car has been almost everywhere with me including a round trip from Virginia to Minnesota.

Recent pictures just before adding a set of H&R sport springs:
