Buy a used Mini from less than £12,500*

A brand-new Mini Cooper starts from £24,735, but you can get a second-hand one for a lot less. We’ve found a great used example from 2019 that might be worth a look. This Cooper Exclusive II version has a 136hp 1.5-litre petrol engine and 37,121 miles on the clock, all for £12,191.

With this, you get the following:

• Bluetooth with audio streaming
• 6.5-inch touchscreen with LED ring
• FM tuner and DAB digital radio
• 278 litres of boot space
• Cruise control

Why should you consider this Mini 5-Door?

The Mini 5-Door is a great choice if you want a small car that’s practical without being boring. It has the iconic Mini styling, a well-built interior and enough space for everyday use, while the extra doors make it much more convenient than the three-door version.

The real selling point, though, is how it drives. It’s nimble, responsive and genuinely fun behind the wheel, giving you that go-kart feel Mini is known for. It’s surprisingly quick for such a small car.

There are more practical hatchbacks out there, but few offer the same combination of style, character and driving fun. If you want a car that makes even a short journey feel a little more enjoyable, the Mini 5-Door is definitely worth considering.

Alternatives to the Mini 5-Door

Here are three other alternatives to consider:

• Volkswagen Polo: Very comfortable on the road but it’s not as fun as alternatives.

• Peugeot 208: Fantastic interior but alternatives are much cheaper.

• Skoda Fabia: All-around practicality but the cabin quality isn’t the best.
