Cooper S 2.0-litre turbo petrol returns official combined figures of 5.7-6.5 l/100 km depending on transmission and drivetrain.
Condition-Based Servicing indicates oil and filter changes based on use, typically around every 10,000 miles or 12 months.
Euro NCAP 5-star rating (2017) with 90% adult occupant, 80% child occupant, 64% pedestrian and 51% safety assist.

The Cooper S uses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine producing 178-189 hp. Official combined fuel use sits between 5.7 and 6.5 litres per 100 km according to market and specification, with a roughly 51-litre tank.
Servicing follows the Condition-Based Service system. The car monitors oil condition, brakes and other items and displays remaining distance or time until the next service is due. Typical oil services fall near 10,000 miles or annually.
Crash testing gave the generation a five-star Euro NCAP result. From the 2020 model year Active Driving Assistant became standard, adding automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning. Core kit also covers six airbags, stability and traction control, tyre pressure monitoring and emergency call.
The car is practical day-to-day with a sliding rear seat and 450-1,390 litre load space. Run-flat tyres are common and the build quality supports long-term ownership, though premium-brand parts and labour apply for maintenance.
