The MINI 3DR HATCHBACK (2014-18) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 D DPF SS 116 EU6 COOPER MEDIA PACK XL STEP AUTO7 is a premium-feeling small hatchback, pairing MINI’s distinctive, playful styling with a 1.5-litre diesel engine and automatic transmission. In the UK market, it sits between mainstream city cars and pricier compact hatchbacks, offering an individual alternative to models such as the Audi A1 or Fiat 500. With three doors and compact proportions, it is best suited to singles, couples and commuters who value easy parking and an engaging drive; rear access and space are less convenient for regular family duties. The diesel engine and automatic gearbox make longer journeys and stop-start travel straightforward. mycarcheck.com has recorded eight checks across six VINs, so figures are a useful snapshot rather than a broad market sample: average most recent recorded mileage was 47,000, with 5,000 annual miles and two previous keepers; average private-sale valuation was £8,900.
