Congrats to all of you. I am looking at getting a 2002 R50 with just under 39k miles and look forward to posting again in this forum, hopefully not too soon but this gives me confidence to get a more used commuter car and let the wife drive my '09 S.

 

118,000+Miles and power pump gone, but that is all the has gone wrong in a 100000+ mile......not bad I say.

 

My 2006 Cooper just passed 125,500. I purchased new, May 2007. she is my daily driver and has been a sound, stellar Mini. I have had problems with my passenger Air Bag, but other than that I have had my share of new brakes, replaced all radiator hoses with Silicone ones.
I change the oil and filter every 5000 to 7000 miles.
The beautiful thing about MINI is the new car feel never seems to wear off. If I get up in the middle of the night, to get a drink, I will look out to the driveway and always feel happy seeing my Mini waiting for our next adventure.

 

This thread on high mileage Coopers cannot be complete without mention of Hstanfield! The last that I saw, he had passed 400,000 (miles not kilometers)

See: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post3303124

I get the feeling that he's so busy driving that he doesn't have time to stare at a computer screen.

 

over 102000 on my 04S, 1 set of brakes and lots of tires, the car runs great.

 

I've got 115k on my 2003 MCS. It's been fine so far. I have a bad ABS speed sensor wire, giving me false reading for tire pressure and traction. Otherwise fine. I did however, have an A-pillar cover fly off yesterday.

 

Have you had the windshield replaced recently (or ever)? Most "departing A-pillar" issues are caused by windshield install techs breaking some of the A-pillar attachment clips during removal, and then rather than replacing the clips with new ones, they just used double-sided tape to re-attach the cover. Works for a while, then...

 

I did. It was replaced at a local glass shop. It was cover by insurance. The dude who did the work said that the covers were already cracked. The car was new to me then, so I couldn't dispute it very well. I found the covers on mini mania for $55 or so each. Ive got two new stars in the window. Ill wait to see if they can be filled before I put the new covers on.

 

90k on my 02 justa. Original transmission and clutch. On my second battery, second serp belt and second windshield. Looking for a second wife.

 

109k on my '02 Justa (Coopers only, remember?). Original transmission and clutch, second serpentine belt, probably the second battery and third windshield. First wife still.

I've got a 2003 JCW MCS that just hit 90,000 miles. I bough it used with around 80,000 on it....and so far it's been a great car. I got it from the original owner, and all they did to it was routine maintenance. The only thing I had to replace when I got the car was a faulty BPV. It could probably stand to have some bushings replaced, and the shocks.....but other than that it's in perfect mechanical shape. I try to baby it, and not run it very hard since it's got "high" miles on it....but when I do get on it, it runs VERY good.

 

Bought new in 2005 Mini Cooper, just turned 104,000 has been a fantastic car. Daughter turned 16 this year and she liked the car so much she drives it now and I bought a 2008 Hot Chocolate Clubman for me. Next car will be a Mini also, cars area blast to drive.

I bought an '02 S a few months ago for carpooling, don't have history of repairs but no complaints at 107K except the auto-lock function isn't turned off yet (working on it). Very happy with the car!

 

OP stated justacooper's only

i'm just about to roll over 113,000 miles. putting me at about 7,000 miles since i bought the car 3 months ago

 

100'000 miles on the odo today.

It's been more or less perfect with the exception of a couple items below:

O2 sensor (warranty)
DME (after multiple dealer visits for a recurring P2096 code)
ABS sensor (warranty)

Replaced LCA bushing with PowerFlex polyurethane last month

Need to replace leaky oil pan gasket
Need to replace leaky pass side driveshaft seal
Need to replace leaky thermostat and put in a new water pump while I'm at it
Need to replace leaky PS lines to steering rack
Need to replace leaky windshield washer bottle

The only thing it ISN'T currently leaking is fuel... lol...

Have all the parts ready to go and will do this all over the holidays.

Even with all that, the car has been fantastic and we're very happy with it...

Rats, I missed posting in this thread when it counted! Oct. 30, 2010, in Swifty:

102k in my 2006 MCS. Original transmission and serpentine belt, but otherwise had a little more work done than most.

On the third water pump, second thermostat, had the power steering hoses changed, engine mount, oil pan gasket, bushings once or twice, hydraulic motor mount, AC compressor, and a couple sets of brakes.

Oh, and the RF wheel speed sensor about a month ago, and now the LF sensor is going out of a sense of solidarity. AC also stopped being cold, and so I'll be having that and the sensor looked at after Christmas.

Still, a fun car to drive!

 

My mini has 225xxx

 

I have a 2005 MCS with about 95,000 miles and so far i haven't to get anything replaced. But then again i have only had the car for a little over a year, it had about 87,000 when i got it.

 

I know this thread is for Coopers but I just wanted to say my 2005 S with over 127K miles has been problem free, with the original clutch, and get this...THE ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD!!

 

Im at 139,000.. Still stock clutch, Supercharger ect... only thing I have had to replace was the Power Steering Pump and Fan... I LOVE this car!!! (KNOCK ON WOOD)

 

244,000 on my 03S. Several issues but still love my Mini. Electrical Harness to the power steering had a melt down (that was expensive), Idler puller let go destroying everything around it (come to think of it that was expensive too), and then some typical stuff, radiator and electric fan changed out due to no low speed and two sets of brakes. Oh yeah, multiple dip sticks ( I think were on our fourth one). I don't even keep the good one in the car anymore, I leave the broke one in to plug the hole and the good one is hanging up in my shed. In the middle of changing out control arm bushings and ball joints right now.

 

2004 MCS, 115K, original owner.

 

not sure if this is considered high compared to these other posts but....

80k and CVT still going strong

 

2009 MC with 77K. So far only replaced tires and wiper blades. Thermostat is now acting up, that will be my first real repair
