Ten years of Mini diesels

The Mini brand is celebrating ten years of having a diesel option in the powertrain choices, writes Brian Byrne.

The initial diesel offered in 2003 was an all-aluminium unit of 1.4 litres displacement and with a 76hp power output.

Today's Mini diesels are 1.6 and 2.0 units with a power range of 91-147hp.
