1.2 One Hatchback (Pepper Pack) 5d
MINI Hatch review (2021)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I actually really like driving it, always puts a smile on your face, looks great nice interior, 16” Victoria alloys in black ( car is pepper white 5 dr) just let down by issues mentioned above and that parts are pricey ! Wish I’d have bought a fiesta titanium but this has ultra low insurance so daughter can use . Great performance from 1.2 really impressive in all situations. I do like it but I probably wouldn’t buy another.

How reliable do you find the car?

Low mileage one previous owner and a host of issues, Starter motor intermittent engagement issue, catalytic converter failure and rattling is annoying but a fortune to replace , air con smells really bad after use .kicks out a puff of grey smoke on rare occasions ( only on startup)
