2025 MINI Cooper C Sport

The 2025 MINI Cooper Convertible C Sport offers something increasingly scarce in the modern market: a compact, genuinely open-top car that functions equally well as an everyday driver. This example, finished in black, has covered just 9,564 miles from new — modest use for a car barely a year old — and is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 161 bhp through MINI's Steptronic automatic gearbox. A top speed of 137 mph positions it as a relaxed cruiser rather than a performance car, and that's the right way to read it.

The C Sport trim adds a practical set of standard equipment: LED headlights, a rear-view camera, and the Driving Assistant suite which includes Blind Spot Assistance — features that make more difference in everyday use than the spec sheet might suggest. Fuel economy rated at up to 44 mpg and CO2 of 149g/km keep running costs in check, and Euro 6 compliance means no issues with clean air zones.

At £28,790, this represents a meaningful saving over the list price of a new example, with the mileage low enough that it remains effectively unworn. A simple, enjoyable small convertible for someone who wants roof-down motoring without the complexity or cost of something larger.
