MINI Cooper 1.6 D (2007 to date)

MINI Cooper 1.6 D (2007 to date)

November 2008

Best tax-busting choices

ANY MINI is a strong buy residually, but the arrival of the 1.6-litre turbodiesel model two years ago is great news for tax costs. Not only is it torquey, it returns 72mpg combined. Plus, BMW tweaked the unit in 2007 to cut emissions from 118g/km to only 104g/km. So while Cooper D owners currently pay a bargain £35 a year in tax, this will drop to £20 (for post-August 2007 cars) and £30 (for
models made from April-August 2007).

Used price range: £11,500-£14,500

CO2 emissions: 104-118g/km

2008 tax band/cost: B/£35

2009 tax band/cost: B or C*/£20-£30
*Post-Aug 07 in band B; pre-Aug 07 in band C
