Technology & Safety

Common Problem

TL;DR
• Motor mounts and selector lever issues are reported. • Battery and electrical problems may arise, often related to key fob or alternator.
Motor Mounts
A recurring issue with Gen 3 MINIs, including the 2021 model, is leaking motor mounts. This problem isn't overly expensive to fix, especially if handled by an independent shop rather than a dealership. It's worth noting that while this issue is common, it does not significantly impact the overall reliability of the vehicle.
Selector Lever Malfunction
Another common problem reported in F series MINIs is the selector lever malfunction, which involves a spring failure in the shifter mechanism. This issue can become more frequent over time until it requires replacement of the entire shifter unit, costing around $900 plus labor. Owners have experienced this issue even with newer models like the 2023 Cooper S ,.
Battery and Electrical Issues
Several owners have reported battery-related problems with the 2021 MINI, such as difficulty starting the car unless the key fob is close to the steering wheel. This could be due to a faulty key fob battery or issues with the alternator. Some users suggest using a battery monitor to check for any loads draining the battery.
General Reliability
Overall, the 2021 MINI 3 Door is considered reliable, especially when regular maintenance is performed. The engine is noted for being robust, whether it's the 3-cylinder or 4-cylinder variant. However, like any car, keeping up with scheduled maintenance is crucial to ensure long-term performance.
