Scotland Lowest Mileage Mini - is it yours?

I was wondering who owns the least used MINI and how many miles it has completed. I'm not talking about one that has just rolled off the production line but say one that is at least 6 months old. I have seen MINI's here that are 3 years old with less than 3000 miles.

For my own part mine is now 7 months old with 1900 miles on the clock. Low I know but I am certain even that will appear execessive in comaprison to some.

Are there any original launch vechicles with less than 5000 on the clock?

Do you really mean 1900 miles - in 7 months? How can you drive it so little?!

I'm afraid I do. I just don't get time to drive it. It sometimes sits for weeks without moving. Also with 3 chidlren and a dog the other car tends to get used more. I only bought the MINI for fun.

MINI Cooper S built June 2002, mileage 17,300. That's about 275 miles a month by my estimation.

I have not long bought my first MINI, a five year old cooper with only 13000 miles on the clock!

Just what I was looking for too!

Poor Mini! My 3 yr old Mini had done about 33k when I handed it back to the dealer a few weeks ago. Getting my new Mini tomorrow

Sept 04 - just turned 3,000 miles.


I live a very sheltered life and don't get out much, but the doctors say I might be released by Christmas 2010.

United-States it is loved

My Mini is loved, but living in a city I don't need to drive it alot. So that said, I picked it up mid-June and it has 1,180ish miles. But it was out of commission for 5 weeks. But it got 750 miles the first 2 days driving it across the Eastern US. So I'm nearing 6 months and it still has training wheels
