We've updated our reliability stats for the standard-sized Mini to include owner experiences through December 31, 2013.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2013 Mini: 5, low
2012 Mini: 55, high
2011 Mini: 57, moderate
2010 Mini: 48, moderate
2009 Mini: 71, high
2008 Mini Hatchback and Clubman: 77, high
2007 Mini Hatchback and Clubman: 64, moderate, small sample size
2006 Mini: 58, moderate
2005 Mini: 87, moderate
2004 Mini: 94, moderate, very small sample size
2003 Mini: 74, moderate

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:

2011 Mini: 53, < 1
2010 Mini: 61, < 1
2009 Mini: 50, < 1

We'll have further updates in May and in August. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.
