Just got a 07 cooper s, never ever needed a new clutch in decades of driving-now i’m worried-did I buy the wrong thing? So far it’s fine, at 11 weeks , it’s the getrag trans so hopefully it’ll be fine??!! Already had a bad gas episode (12%ethanol) which had it been worse could have been very expensive. ---

It’s an 07 and has decades of driving! good trick, do you have a time machine? Or is it a 1907 model? How many miles in these decades of driving? ---

The MINI2 seems to have more than its fair share of clutch failures, Google MINI2 clutch problem, you’ll find plenty of references.
