For some reason or another MINI has the strongest residual value in the UK. Story goes that average annual dep for UK MINI's sits at a 16.4%

Considering that MINI operates within a classically high-RV-performing segment, combined with the desirable nature of the brand, meant that even for vehicles aged seven years, the percentage of cost new that can be expected from a MINI was appreciably more than any other brand.”
