MINI Aceman - Safety & reliability
The latest-generation of MINIs still need to prove themselves when it comes to reliability, but overall brand satisfaction is pretty good
MINI finished 20th (out of 32) in our most recent Driver Power owner satisfaction survey. That’s not a particularly pleasing result, but does place it above the likes of Mercedes (25th), Audi (27th) and Volkswagen (29th) – possibly proving that buyers of premium cars have quite high expectations.
This said, the previous-generation MINI Hatchback, including its electric alternative, came fifth in the rundown of the top 50 models – with owners praising their cars’ handling and driving pleasure. The cars were marked down for a firm ride, though – all characteristics that can also be applied to the latest Aceman.
In terms of safety, while the Aceman hasn’t yet been tested by Euro NCAP, the company has a very good reputation in this regard – despite the cars being among the smallest and most city-focused on the road. There are plenty of driver-assistance systems available – although it’s worth noting that some of these are hidden in option packs, so make sure you know what you’re getting before placing an order.
