Buying a used 2025 MINI Cooper S? Check these 3 recalls first

Braking also leads the 4 unverified NHTSA owner complaints, with service brakes cited in 3, hydraulic systems in 2 and electronic stability control in 2; speed control appears in 1. These categories can overlap. The supplied complaint record reports 0 crashes, 0 fires and 0 injuries.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify VIN-specific completion of all 3 brake recalls.
- Request documentation of brake weld inspection or repair.
- Ask about brake assist, stability control and speed control warnings.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any MINI dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
