MINI Electric Cooper.
What to Check Before Buying.
The MINI Electric Cooper brings the brand's go-kart handling to the electric vehicle market with a 145-mile real-world range and punchy urban performance. Popular with city dwellers and company car drivers, it offers low running costs and the classic MINI character without the petrol engine. As these early models enter the used market, buyers need to check battery health, charging system condition, and whether the limited range suits their daily needs. Like all MINIs, build quality can vary and some electrical gremlins have been reported.
