Used MINI Coupe for sale

The Mini Coupe comes equipped with front and side airbags, stability control and anti-lock brakes as standard. While not independently tested by Euro NCAP due to its low production, it shares many safety features with the regular Mini Hatch.

The Mini Coupe is available with three versions of its 1.6-litre petrol engine, one for each trim level: Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works. It's naturally aspirated for entry-level Coopers and turbocharged for the sportier Cooper S and JCW models. There's also a 2.0-litre diesel option. Power ranges from 122bhp in the basic petrol to 211bhp in the JCW, covering both economy and performance needs.

Most Mini Coupes include Bluetooth connectivity, DAB radio and a central speedometer as part of the distinctive dashboard layout. Higher trims and option packs may add climate control, navigation and upgraded Harman Kardon audio.

Typical real-world averages are between 40–50mpg for the Cooper models and around 38mpg for the Cooper S. The John Cooper Works variants are less economical, often returning around 35mpg. Nonetheless, all versions offer reasonable running costs for a compact coupe.

Look for a full service history, as regular oil changes are important on these engines. Listen for suspension noise and inspect the tyres for uneven wear – sporty driving can take its toll. Electrical issues and leaky door seals have been reported. For added peace of mind, book in with The AA Vehicle Inspection.

The Mini Coupe generally proves reliable when well maintained. Issues can include early wear on the timing chain if oil changes are missed, as well as some trim rattles in older models. Its use of tried-and-tested BMW mechanical parts and Mini's reputation provide reassurance on reliability.
