The Cooper S runs a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine that needs premium unleaded. Official combined consumption sits in the mid-range figures published for the period, with a 44-litre tank giving usable range for open-top driving.
Servicing follows Condition Based Service. Sensors track oil condition, brake pad wear and fluid levels so the car only calls for work when needed. Service data sits in the key for the workshop to read. Typical first oil service falls around 20 000 km depending on use.
Safety equipment is comprehensive as standard. Dynamic Stability Control, ABS, brake assist, hill-start assist and tyre-pressure monitoring are fitted. Front, side and knee airbags protect occupants. Automatic rollover protection deploys hoops behind the seats in milliseconds if needed. The Convertible itself was not crash-tested by Euro NCAP. the related hatch scored four stars in 2014.
Keep the car by following CBS prompts and using the correct oil specification. The soft top needs occasional cleaning and care to stay weather-tight. Regular checks of the run-flat tyres and brake wear sensors help maintain reliability.
