The MINI MINI (2001-08) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 1.6 170 COOPER S SIDEWALK SCHARGER STEP AUTO is a compact convertible with MINI style and Cooper S spirit. In the UK it is a premium small car, offering more individuality than a conventional hatchback but less space than family cars. mycarcheck.com has recorded 71 checks across 41 distinct VINs, a useful sample for this specific version. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £2,300, average recorded mileage of 71,000 miles and roughly four previous keepers. The low average annual mileage, around 3,000 miles, may suit occasional-use buyers, though condition matters. With its punchy engine, automatic gearbox and open-air feel, the Cooper S Sidewalk offers more personality than small convertibles, while remaining compact for town trips. It suits couples, enthusiasts and commuters wanting a distinctive car, rather than families needing luggage space. Check roof operation, service history and condition before buying.
