MINI Hardtop keeps an estimated 61% of its recent market value after 5 years — #192 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the MINI Hardtop retains an estimated 61% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #192 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the MINI Hardtop sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $24,990 it falls to around $15,293 by year five — a five-year loss near $9,697, about $5.31 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used MINI Hardtop bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.

It keeps an estimated 61% of its recent market value after five years — better than most among the 530 cars VINdown tracks (ranked #192).
From about $24,990 when new it drops to roughly $15,293 after five years — a loss near $9,697 (61% of its recent market value retained).
Around 4 years old: that is just past the steepest depreciation, so you skip the biggest drop while the value curve is flattening.
