Bigger, but slightly less brawny, the third-generation Mini Cooper S is still an entertaining hot hatch. Here's our used buying guide -
The Cooper S bucks the current trend for downsized engines and where most rivals have opted for three cylinders the Mini uses a 2-litre four-cylinder unit. It’s the/Mini B48 modular engine that’s used in a wide range of the company’s product portfolio and can even be found in the entry-level Toyota Supra.
CO2 figures average around the 140g/km mark depending on model and transmission, so first-year VED would be £220 and £155 each subsequent year. Mini’s fixed-price servicing can be transferred between owners and equates to lower running costs, but standard servicing shouldn’t break the bank, while consumables such as tyres will likely cost around £450 for a set of four depending on wheel size.
There are a bewildering number of personalisation options – colours, decals, wheels, trim finishes and various option packs – and Mini reckons that the likelihood of two identical Minis being ordered are pretty slim.Minis in general fare pretty well as far as depreciation is concerned and retain their value better than many other brands. The Cooper S does depreciate slightly quicker than some of the more mundane models, but you’re unlikely to find a real bargain.
