Before my 2014 F56 Cooper D, I had 3 R56 Mini Coopers all bought as 6 month old demonstrators. A 57 reg, 60 reg and 12 reg and did over 60,000 miles in each over the 2 years I had them. My wife has also had a 62 reg R60 Countryman for 2 years.
I should also add the the R56's were used as driving school cars so had multiple learner drivers and a fairly hard life.
In a combined 210,000 Mini miles the only faults Ive had were
ABS unit faulty within 3 days of owning my 57 reg Mini
Thermostat body leak on my 60 reg Mini
Air Con fault on my 12 reg Mini
Air Con fault on my wife's 62 reg Countryman
All faults fixed under warranty as I don't usually keep cars past 3 years.
Current 14 reg Cooper D has less mileage (no learners) currently 15,000 but hasn't yet been back to the dealers with the service being due in 1500 miles. The only fault is a very slight paint rub on the drivers door which isnt getting worse and I wouldn't even have noticed but for reading this forum and wont be mentioning to MINI and I'm very picky.
What faults have others had on their F56's?
