MINI COOPER SD Common Problems & Reliability

Based on 142 MOT tests from 10 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore. The figures below describe that VehicleScore sample. Recurring issues seen in VehicleScore MOT data are not a claim that every MINI COOPER SD has the same fault.

MINI COOPER SD's have a slightly over average reliability rating of 595/999. The score was calculated from the average of every MINI COOPER SD that has had a registered MOT.

We calculated all of the below figures by getting the score from each vehicle make/model/year/fuel, which are each calculated a score. We then generate the average score, taking into account factors such as mileage and emissions.

Common MINI COOPER SD MOT problems

Based on 142 MOT tests from 10 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore. That sample is too small to describe recurring problems, so this page does not list model-specific faults.

MINI COOPER SD MOT reliability by year

A model year is only commented on when VehicleScore has at least 5 vehicles from that year.

Not enough VehicleScore data for year-by-year conclusions.

Buying a MINI COOPER SD?

Common problems tell you what can affect MINI COOPER SDs generally. VehicleScore can check the history of the actual car you're considering.

Where does this data come from?

VehicleScore analyses MOT histories from vehicles in its own dataset. Sample sizes vary by model, and a small sample is labelled as such. MOT data records roadworthiness and inspection defects. It does not capture every mechanical or electronic problem a car can have, and a comment on one test is not proof that the model has an inherent fault.
