My Mini Cooper is currently on 111,000 miles. Bought it about 3 years ago on 85k or so. When I bought it it had just had the clutch done, apparently that is relatively expensive on Minis so good to find one that has been done. Since then it has needed a new rear wheel bearing and an ABS sensor, and a gearchange cable. The passenger window is very temperamental.
I really like it - my personal preference is to get one with a sunroof as it makes it lighter and feel more spacious inside. EDIT I've also just swapped the 16" runflat tyres for 15" steels and bigger sidewall regular tyres. Ride is definitely better but steering feels slightly less precise. Next mod is to delete the rear wiper as it is useless.
EDIT 2: just remembered I also needed to change the indicator stalk as it was putting the high beams on every time I indicated.

Any Mini owners in this thread? We’re looking at fairly cheap/high mileage options for my other half.
Most examples we’ve seen online have similar recurrent issues in the MOT history and none of it is particularly scary, but I’m interested to know if there’s anything major we should look out for after 100-120k miles?
