2025 Mini Cooper

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Cooper.

Transmission Automatic (AM-S7)

The 2025 Mini Cooper arrives as a compact car with an automatic (AM-S7) transmission and EPA fuel economy ratings of 27 mpg city, 37 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. This model year records just one owner complaint—related to the engine—and three recalls, continuing the dramatic reliability gains seen in 2024, which also logged only a single complaint. That places the 2025 Cooper among the most trouble-free iterations in the nameplate’s history, a stark contrast to the 843 complaints recorded for the 2005 model year.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Mini Cooper sits near the tail end of a generation that has seen a dramatic long-term decline in consumer complaints—from a peak of 843 in 2005 down to just 1–7 annually since 2022. Within that recent stable period, 2025 recorded 1 complaint, 0 crash-related complaints, and 0 fire-related complaints, which is consistent with the minimal complaint levels of 2022–2024. However, 2025 is notable for 3 recalls, which stands out against 0 recalls in both 2022 and 2023, suggesting increased manufacturer action in this model year. The 41 TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins) for 2025 also exceeds the 24–27 seen in the immediately prior years, indicating elevated dealer-level service attention. The root cause of these recalls and TSBs is not specified in the available data. Given the very low complaint count, absence of crash or fire complaints, and the fact that 2025 is essentially the newest model year in the dataset, it represents a relatively low-risk purchase within this generation, though the spike in recalls warrants confirming which specific campaigns apply to any individual vehicle before buying.
