The MINI MINI (2007-15) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 SD DPF 143 EU5 COOPER S HIGHGATE AUTO6 is a compact, premium-feeling four-seat convertible, bringing MINI’s cheeky styling to open-air motoring. In the UK market it sits between a small city car and a fashionable lifestyle car: more distinctive than an ordinary hatchback, but less practical than a family-sized convertible. Mycarcheck.com records 44 look-ups, although they relate to just one distinct VIN, so treat the figures as a useful snapshot rather than a broad survey. The recorded cars average £5,200 in private-sale value and 73,000 miles; annual mileage averages only 1,000, while previous keepers average 4.3. With its torquey diesel engine, automatic gearbox and fabric roof, it suits couples or commuters wanting brisk, relaxed journeys and weekend drives, rather than family duties. Its blend of punch and open-air charm stands apart from Fiat 500C and Beetle convertibles, offering a sporty MINI character.
