1. Fun and Engaging Drive MINIs are known for their go-kart-like handling, and this Cooper D is no exception. The steering is sharp, the suspension is sporty yet comfortable, and it’s genuinely enjoyable to drive—whether you’re navigating tight city streets or cruising on country roads. 2. Efficient and Economical Diesel Engine The 1.5L diesel engine offers impressive fuel economy—up to 80+ mpg on long runs—making it ideal for commuters or anyone looking to cut fuel costs. With low CO2 emissions, it also benefits from cheaper road tax compared to petrol alternatives. 3. Premium Feel in a Compact Package Despite its small size, the MINI Hatchback has a high-quality interior with stylish design, soft-touch materials, and a signature central infotainment system. It feels more premium than many other small cars in its class. 4. Classic Looks with Modern Touches The 2014 redesign keeps the iconic MINI shape but adds modern updates like LED daytime running lights, a sleeker grille, and improved aerodynamics. It’s a head-turner that never really goes out of style. 5. Practical for a 3-Door Hatch While compact, it offers surprising interior space for front passengers and decent boot space for daily use. The rear seats fold down for added practicality, making it usable for small shopping trips or weekend getaways. 6. Proven Reliability and Mileage At 78,231 miles, this MINI has been well used but is still within the normal range for a diesel engine that’s known for durability. As long as it’s been maintained properly, there’s plenty of life left in it. 7. Affordable Entry into a Premium Brand MINI, part of the BMW Group, offers premium build quality and engineering at a lower price point. You get a fun, stylish car with a premium badge and feel—without the premium price tag.
