What are some common problems with the MINI Cooper?
Ever since I saw that chase scene in The Italian Job with Mark Wahlberg, I’ve always wanted to own a MINI Cooper. I know they don’t make that particular model anymore, but used ones are surprisingly affordable. This makes me a bit apprehensive though. Are there any common problems with the MINI Cooper?

If you decide to buy one anyway, watch out for these common problems with the MINI Cooper:
- Failure of the clutch on manual versions if you’re repeatedly in heavy traffic
- Faulty power steering pump, which can make turning difficult if not impossible
- Leaky water pump
- Failure of the automatic transmission in only about 50,000 miles

MINI Cooper
