i am putting alot of miles on my cooper. alot more than i intended. set to put about 30,000 - 35,000 miles a year. which is fine. but it brings me to the question. have there been ANY reports of engine failure yet DUE TO MILEAGE. any at all. this motor seems very sound and tough. but im looking at possibly 200,000 + before im done with it. i know there are some minis over 100,000 now. i know nobody can say "yes you will get 200,000 miles" but if there has been no engines that have failed due to high mileage then that is a promising indicator that 200,000 might not be a problem for the tritec. i also intend to keep up with oil changes and use premium shell petrol.
