I have an opportunity to purchase a 2016 Mini Cooper S (4 Door) for use in my sales territory, but I've heard many of the earlier models had transmission issues. I will be driving approximately 30k miles a year. Should 30k miles per year exacerbate any transmission issues?

Thanks for your input.

 

Hello,
The Gen 3 MINIs 2014+ have been very reliable in the automatic transmissions. Its the early gen 1 MINIs with the CVT R50/R52 NON Supercharged.

The Gen 3 autos are a good Aisin brand auto transmission and very smooth.
