The MINI MINI (2007-15) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 175 EU5 COOPER S MAYFAIR STEP AUTO6 is a three-door premium small hatchback: compact enough for town, but with a stronger, sportier character than an everyday city car. Its Mayfair edition adds distinctive styling, while the automatic gearbox suits drivers who prefer relaxed progress in traffic. mycarcheck.com has recorded 13 checks covering three distinct VINs, so these figures offer a small snapshot rather than a broad market average. The checked cars averaged 55,000 miles and around 1,000 miles a year; average private-sale valuation was £3,300, with five previous keepers on average. Check each car’s history and condition carefully. Compared with the Audi A1 and Fiat 500, this Cooper S stands out for its playful handling, iconic looks and lively, engaging performance, suiting singles or couples, commuting and weekend trips. It is less suited to families needing easy rear-seat access or generous boot space.
