What MINI Cooper do most buyers choose?

The MINI Cooper years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing flexibility, and a better chance of finding the body style and trim you want. They also tend to attract shoppers looking for newer features without moving all the way to the newest model year.

What is the MINI Cooper's resale value?
