Just over 21000 so I reckon I,m mid table amongst NMS milages.
So far no problems at all (touch wood) and will be bang on 2 years old (June) for the first 'major' service. I did swop front for rear tyes at 14000 miles and will be looking to change all 4 (ouch!!) soon.

Well combined mileage in my MINI's would be around 50-60K but as i've had 3 different ones it doesnae really count! :clown:

74K, passed it MOT last month with no worries,
a few things replaced under warranty mainly in the last 18 months or so.
- radiator (leak - lost coolant)
- water pump (leak - loosing coolant)
- a couple of Radios - (blaring music and wouldnt turn down; and
- ABS pump (faulty - warning light and no ABS),
that about all the major problems i've had -
