About the Mini Cooper
Iconic compact hatchback with distinctive styling and engaging driving dynamics. Fun-to-drive character with modern interior. Popular lifestyle choice.
Reliability & common issues
2007-2010 models (N12/N14 engine) have a well-documented plastic timing chain guide defect causing a cold-start "death rattle" — failures reported from as low as 15,000 miles, and BMW issued a TSB but never a recall. Have the timing chain checked before buying; later engines revised the design.
Fun driving experience. Strong enthusiast community. Parts and labor pricey. Extended warranty recommended.
