How Many Miles Are On Your MINI?
 

Our in-house R53 has been well kept for since day one, so the mileage does not reflect its year. We are around 50k on this MINI Cooper S, no engine replacement - all original.

Post up yours below with how many miles are on the chassis and if you've ever had any major engine work done.

Glad we could help keep your R53 on the road. She's a beaut! Thanks for sharing. :)

Bulletproof MINIs
 

This is Alice I and Alice II. Both are '05 R53s and built only a couple weeks apart by VIN. I took #1 to 329,000 miles before picking up #2 which is at 160,000 this week. Both have gotten new solid harmonic dampeners and alternators while #1 also got a new clutch at 200,000 since the throwout bearing gave up, new wheel bearing, LCA bushings, fuel pump, several idler pulleys, power steering pump (after several clean-outs that added 100,000 miles), O2 sensors, slave cylinder, thermostat, and Koni shocks as well as too many tires to count. She also got a new valve spring when an over-rev broke one. #1 got Mobil 1 but #2 is getting Royal Purple to compare cam wear. Both still run strong.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1500910177.jpg
