The MINI MINI (2007-15) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 1.6 122 EU5 COOPER STEP AUTO6 is a small, four-seat convertible with a distinctive retro look, aimed at buyers wanting city-car size with open-air appeal. In the UK used market, it sits between everyday small hatchbacks and more focused two-seat roadsters: compact and characterful, but with occasional-use rear seats and limited luggage space. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 110 checks covering 68 different VINs, a useful sample of interest in this particular Cooper. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £3,000 and average recorded mileage of 63,000 miles; typical annual use is modest at 4,000 miles. Cars in the sample had around 2.7 previous keepers on average, so checking the history of any individual car remains important. Against a Fiat 500C, its six-speed automatic suits town trips. The folding roof makes it a weekend choice for couples wanting distinctive character beyond an ordinary small car.
