Just got my MINI one a couple of weeks ago - I've worked out I'll be doing 20K+ miles per year in it. Is this high for a MINI? How many miles/km are MINI2 members racking up?

KenL · Dec 17th, 2002, 07:00 AM

That's on the high side for any car. I believe the average for UK owners is ~10-12k miles/year. I do almost exactly 1k/month so 12k/year.

Having said that there is no reason the MINI will not perform well as a high mileage car.

Your TLC package may run out in ~2 years though.

Thought that would be the case - just means I can superchip it soon without worrying about losing out on TLC!

I guess doing 390 miles a week getting to and from work is quite a bit! At least I'm enjoying the journey now!

I now have 12,400 miles - on track for a 24,000/year average.

What is it with Swindon? I amassed 17k miles in one year (although most of that was when I just got it, has tailed off now to under 1k a month)

Must be going round all those roundabouts

15 thousand in 7 months!

18,000 in 13 months. Just run in!! Faster & smoother than when new. Gear change & Gearbox much better.

I used to travel 17000 km on the same school bus every year for 5 years and the high mileagea didn't effect its performance..........it stayed the same crappy old wheezing bus

1200 k in 4 months... and i have to find reasons to get out since i live, shop and work downtown Montreal!!!

Fortunatly, i have a garage so the car doesn't get damages on being park in the streets with salt, slutch, other cars bumper, etc... So i guess i'll be one of the few owner of a "low millage" mini 2002 in 2030!!! And this summer, i'm taking out his garage friends... so plenty of choices then for my rides!!! I'm gonna miss the mini handling and braking when taking my other cars...
