Common Problem

TL;DR
The most common issues reported for the 2018 MINI include engine mount failures and occasional leaks. Routine maintenance is crucial to avoid major problems.
Engine Mount Issues
One of the most frequently mentioned problems with the 2018 MINI Cooper S is the upper engine mount cracking due to high torque. This issue has been reported across several discussions, and while it's a relatively inexpensive part (around $160), dealership labor costs can be high. Independent shops might charge around $500-$600 for replacement.
Leaks and Water Insulation
Some owners have reported leaks, particularly in the boot area or rear doors. These issues seem to be related to build quality rather than mechanical faults. While these are not deal-breakers, they can be annoying and may require attention over time.
Reliability and Maintenance
Overall, the reliability of post-2014 MINIs has improved significantly compared to earlier models. Regular maintenance, including timely oil changes, is essential to prevent issues like turbo oil burning. The B48 engine used in the 2018 model is generally considered solid, with fewer reports of major mechanical failures.
Other Considerations
While some users have experienced more serious issues like cylinder play affecting the turbo and catalytic converter , these appear less common and often covered under warranty. It's advisable to check the Carfax report and test drive before purchasing a high-mileage vehicle.
Recommendations Beyond Discussions
For potential buyers, ensuring thorough inspection and considering extended warranties could mitigate risks associated with long-term ownership. Additionally, aftermarket solutions like Powerflex inserts can help prolong the life of engine mounts but may affect ride comfort.
