Used MINI 5-Door Hatch pros and cons
Is a second-hand MINI 5-Door Hatch a good car?
The five-door version of the MINI hatchback is a good way to mix sixties retro styling with modern-day practicality.
The great thing about the MINI 5-door is that while it’s more or less as practical and as cheap to run as the likes of VW Polo or Audi A1, it’s way more fun to drive than either.
On sale from 2013 all the way up to 2024, the MINI 5-door hatch (in this F55 model version) was regularly updated to keep it fresh for all those years, but the basic recipe remained the same.
The MINI’s cabin looks just as cute and retro as the outside. Even tall drivers can get comfy in the front, but if you’re very tall, you might find that the windscreen is rather shallow and the roof feels lower than it does in a Polo or Fiesta. Still, quality levels are generally excellent, which is good.
The extra room in the back compared to the three-door makes this MINI a much more practical proposition, but it’s still not as roomy as a Polo or a Skoda Fabia, and there’s not really enough room for three people in the back even if they’re kids.
The 278-litre boot is okay, but it’s much smaller than almost any alternative’s. If you need more space, get a Peugeot 208 which is almost as cool to look at as the MINI.
The good news is that, even with the extra length and extra doors, the MINI remains as much fun to drive as it always has been since the 2001 reinvention of the brand.
What to look for when buying a used MINI 5-Door Hatch
The 1.5-litre three-cylinder Cooper engine can suffer from oil leaks, which can also affect the — closely related — 1.2-litre engine in the MINI One. The sportier versions all have very stiff springs, so check for excessive cabin rattles, while the 2.0-litre-engined Cooper S models can have weak clutches.
While those are the known issues, the MINI hatchback finished a hugely impressive fifth overall in the Driver Power Top 50 Cars To Own survey, receiving a very high mark for its reliability and quality. As a brand, MINI finished 20th out of 32 manufacturers in the Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, with a mere 12% of owners reporting problems — that’s Toyota levels of solidity.
