Is a Mini Cooper reliable?

I’m determined to buy a Mini Cooper. Can you tell me, is the Mini Cooper a reliable car?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Mini Coopers are such great cars!
Mini Coopers
 have an average reliability rating of 3.0 out of 5.0. Also, they rank rather low at 25th out of 32 car brands.
Here are a few important things to know about Mini Coopers before you buy one:
  • Most Mini Coopers can last between 200,000 to 250,000 miles if properly maintained
  • Common problems include loose timing chain and power steering pump failure
  • They tend to lose roughly 73% of their value over their first decade
Once you have your gorgeous new Mini Cooper, you need to review your
car insurance
. Are you overpaying? Do you have the right coverage?
