i'm just curious as to others MINI usage. i'm just a bit over one thousand miles a month. i'm lucky that my job keeps me out of town for most of the week. otherwise it could be ugly. i also did a driving school that put the hurt on my tires. let me know what kind of miles your MINI has.

Smokey 4 · Apr 22nd, 2003, 10:41 AM

15,800+ since pick up in August 2002
Works out to about 2000 a month.
I might get another 5000 out of my tires:~(

MiniMan7 · Apr 22nd, 2003, 10:48 AM

Almost at 7000 km.

I picked my Mini up April 29, 2002.
Considering I didn't drive it this winter, I feel its some nice mileage!

bluesmini · Apr 22nd, 2003, 11:03 AM

impressive numbers smokey. considering the twisty roads you take through the mountains. i'm hoping for another 5000 on the original tires. i also picked up my MCS in august and i'm now close to 9000 miles.

mrhollio · Apr 22nd, 2003, 12:16 PM

1000 miles a month since December pickup.

R Betts · Apr 22nd, 2003, 01:13 PM

A little over 5000 miles since February 2003. Bought my MCS in Florida and drove it home to Washington State. Nice drive but came Southern route. Would have been more fun in the Spring. Could have driven through Colorado and Montana.

Sejanus · Apr 22nd, 2003, 01:37 PM

A bit over 1400 miles per month.

benggolf · Apr 22nd, 2003, 01:50 PM

Delivery August 12, 2002; current mileage 5,500KM. That should work out to only 687.5KM/month.

Still a cherry, eh!

dinlo · Apr 23rd, 2003, 02:54 AM

Mine is 2300 miles and drove about for 1 month now.

minimao · Apr 23rd, 2003, 03:35 AM

MINIMAO just reached 3000 miles this morning and I drive about 1500 miles per month.

GooF · Apr 23rd, 2003, 03:54 AM

In my first month I averaged 1000km a week

now it's levelling off though, just about 7000km in the 10 weeks I got it.
By the way the drive to work is about 5km...

Lemmiwinks · Apr 23rd, 2003, 04:16 AM

this many miles...

acetonic · Apr 23rd, 2003, 04:58 AM

In 11 months, 20,600 miles. Replaced the Dunlop Runflats yesterday. Best change I've made!

M0D · Apr 23rd, 2003, 05:15 AM

Picked up the car January 20th 2003...

Milage to date April 22nd 2003 > 5,900 on the clock...

Estimated milage to place of work:
6.5 miles (only a 10 minute drive...13 miles a day)...

I really think I need to calm it down for the sake of my bank balance

jon.od · Apr 23rd, 2003, 05:21 AM

Picked mine up 21st Jan 2003 just past the 9k marker this very afternoon

Blimey... That is going some!!

Have you sat down and calculated how much that has cost you in petrol???

Pav · Apr 23rd, 2003, 05:41 AM

I might have the record. Picked up Oct 2002, 1900 miles to date.

gas mark 1 · Apr 23rd, 2003, 05:42 AM

Picked up April 2nd, just done 1473 miles (not used for work at all),
Hopefully this rate will reduce when the novalty wears off... so that'll be never then!

motoring · Apr 23rd, 2003, 06:18 AM

20,500 miles since Aug. 6, 2002... 2600 miles per month and I don't drive it to work.

Jonny Wells · Apr 23rd, 2003, 06:24 AM

9700 miles since collection on Jan 13 2003.
And I've been on holidays for two weeks so the kiddie carrier has been out since then and I haven't filled up with petrol since 6 April.

And I work from home so no commuting.

But I do drive a lot on business!

Great choice for a business car though - low insurance great MPG and lots mnore fun than a Vectra DTi!
