Nothing usually kills them, they usually wear out.

How many miles are on your MINI and is that the original alternator? If so, it's not uncommon for this item to go bad at some point. Just make sure to replace with the correct one. I'm a bit confused about what you wrote. Are you saying that you're now having an issue with the new one you installed?
