Mini Cooper recalls
Known and open recall campaigns for the Mini Cooper, from EU market registers. Each source is shown on its own. Recalls apply to production windows, so check the dates against the specific car. This is advisory, not a per-VIN history.
RDW NL open-recall prevalence
In the Dutch RDW register, 0.9% of the 105,116 registered Mini Cooper cars currently carry at least one open (uncompleted) recall, as of 2026-07-13. This is a true EU fleet rate, the strongest market-relevance signal on this page.

How this compares
Among the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for, the Mini Cooper ranks #55 by overall signal strength. Its 10 EU Safety Gate campaigns are fewer than the median of 17 for this set. Its 18 KBA campaigns are fewer than the median of 34. Its RDW open-recall share is fewer than the 6.6% median.
Counts across sources are not comparable to each other and are never summed: a Safety Gate alert and a KBA campaign can describe the same defect or different ones. Treat each as one advisory pointer.
