If you mean modernosh MPi, then it's good news.  My CooperSport did a similar daily journey for 6 months and then I moved and it became 50 miles a day. It did this for 2 years.  In all that time it was one of the sweetest, smoothest running minis I or my club have known. 

I've had a lot of small problems with my car since I stopped using it as a daily driver though, and last year the gearbox went. I reckon I'm about a month off getting him back on the road now.

 

On a regular, long distance, high speed commute my mini was awesome, but the bodywork did suffer from being outdoors so much, especially through the winter salt and spray. Have spent thousands on bodywork repairs. Reliable, yes. Prettiness might not last though.

I drive a 998, about 100 miles a day to uni and back. 

No complaints as such, just give it a good bit of love once a week! 

I drive it at 70mph most of those miles and it costs about £10 a day in fuel.. Whatever that equates to!

I drive mine (998 Automatic) 56 miles per day 5 days a week at the moment its about £7-£8 per day roughly 30-35mpg i reckon, mainly driving between 40mph and 70mph (40mph speed restriction on the A23 helps with economy)

 

oh If you see a red mini driving on the a23 in the left hand lane in rush hours its probably me, so toot n wave
