2007 MINI COOPER
This model year
What the record shows
The 2007 Mini Cooper is a minicompact car, and the 7th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2001 to 2026.
The EPA rated two configurations: a single 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on premium gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 29 to 31 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 116 owner complaints, 1 safety recall and 75 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
