Buying the 2018 MINI Cooper

No 2018 MINI Cooper is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2018 MINI Cooper in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Reading the spec sheet

It uses the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Rated at 7.4 L/100 km combined, it needs around 22 litres for a 300 km round trip. For 1,000 km, budget about $129.50 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,550 a year for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the Cooper

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Space and size

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 255 litres means about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the Cooper on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Cooper on your commute, then decide.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

What it costs to run

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.95 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $129.50 at our price setting.
