The automatic transmissions in Minis have been well known as a problem for years.

Just try and have one rebuilt...dealers just replace them.

Exactly right. You couldn’t even get parts if you wanted to overhaul it. Many other manufacturers have gone to the CVT with exactly the same results, a vehicle with very low miles the owner is still making payments on with a $5k minimum transmission problem. It pretty much totals out the vehicle.
