What problems have been encountered with the Mini Cooper's engine?
Years 2007-2014

Answer

The problems with the engine mounted on the first series of Mini Cooper R56 are now well established. The exaggerated consumption of oil often results in the failure of the engine itself with extensive damage and exorbitant repair costs. Someone, to try to limit the consumption of oil, recommends using a more dense one, like 10w60, but in the end it is only a temporary palliative.
