Your getting *****y,
The first mini2s didn`t have stop/start, the second gen mini2s had stop/start but no brake regeneration and only standard battery, the mini2 D I believe has stop/start and brake regeneration it may have the new type battery which costs approx £275, or it may not.
The economy gained from this system is marginal and not worth the cost in later years especially when the vehicle is outside the warranty period, if this system requires expensive repairs which I believe it will due to excessive wear of components the high resale value of the mini will diminish. I start my mini maybe 6 times per day without the system, with stop start that could be up to sixty.
It is a well known fact that most modern vehicles are not scraped for MOT failure but for electronic component failure. Keep it simple and it will give you trouble free motoring for years.
