How many years can an imported BMW MINI generally last?

[Shirley]

If well-maintained and not frequently driven on rural roads, dirt roads, or mountain paths, an imported BMW MINI can last over a decade without issues. Below is relevant information about the BMW MINI: 1. Overview: The BMW MINI (MINI, BMW-MINI) is a British microcar brand currently under the BMW Group. The MINI originated from the iconic "Morris Mini-Minor" model launched by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) in 1959, later evolving into a brand with multiple small car models. The original two-door MINI continued production until its discontinuation in 2000. 2. Creation Background: In 1956, Europe faced extreme gasoline shortages, prompting the UK government to enforce strict fuel rationing. BMC began developing a highly fuel-efficient small car, with engineer Alec Issigonis leading the project. The first sketch of the MINI was famously drawn by Issigonis on a napkin at a Cannes beachside hotel.
