Can you lease a used MINI?
Yes. Second Life Leasing offers pre-leased MINI cars for personal and business leasing in the UK, with full maintenance and premium replacement tyres included. Explore our current MINI listings to see the individual cars and lease options available.
You choose a specific car with its own photographs, specification and recorded mileage. Pay an initial rental followed by monthly rentals, then return the car at the agreed end. Applications are subject to approval.
Where does my MINI come from?
Second Life Leasing’s MINI cars come directly from Lex Autolease, part of Lloyds Banking Group, after their first lease. Lex continues to own the car and offers it for another lease. We help you choose and arrange it; your hire agreement is with Lex Autolease.
A first lease with a known history
Lex bought the car from new and managed its first lease, with agreed mileage, servicing and return standards. That gives your next MINI a known leasing history. The individual listing and vehicle information tell you about the particular car you are considering.
Safety checks and preparation
Each car goes through safety checks and preparation for its next driver. It is still a used car, and we will highlight known minor cosmetic imperfections before you decide, so you can picture what will arrive.
What are the current MINI lease prices?
The car you choose, contract term, annual mileage and payment profile all affect the rental. Compare the initial payment as well as the monthly figure when deciding what fits your budget.

Which MINI model and version should you choose?
Original MINI Electric: the compact three-door
The earlier MINI Electric Cooper S is worth considering if most of your driving is local and you like a small three-door hatchback. Its compact body makes it a different family proposition from a five-door Aceman or Countryman. Think about how often someone will climb into the rear, as well as whether the boot takes your normal shopping or work bag.
Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Resolute identify equipment or edition choices, rather than successive battery sizes. MINI’s 2021 range update describes those Level packages. Choose the comfort and parking equipment that earns its place in your daily routine.
Newer Cooper E and SE: a separate electric generation
The newer all-electric Cooper arrived for UK customers in spring 2024. It offers E and SE powertrains with different battery capacities, alongside Classic, Exclusive and Sport trims. MINI’s launch guide explains the new generation. It should not be judged using the earlier Electric’s charging or battery figures simply because both are three-door MINIs.
The SE is the one to compare when more battery capacity matters for your journeys. The E may be sufficient for a regular local routine with convenient charging. Compare the rental and the actual car’s specification before choosing purely on the more powerful badge.
Aceman: five doors between Cooper and Countryman
The Aceman is an electric crossover positioned between Cooper and Countryman. Five doors make it a useful starting point if you want easier access to rear seats without moving straight to the largest MINI. E and SE versions provide separate battery and performance choices.
For school runs, compare fitting a child seat and reaching its buckles with doing the same job in a three-door Cooper. For adults, pay attention to rear knee room and headroom. Those everyday tasks can make the extra doors more valuable than a higher trim.
Countryman Electric: the larger family choice
The newer electric Countryman offers a larger body than the Cooper or Aceman. Countryman E is battery-electric; it should not be confused with the earlier Countryman Cooper S E plug-in hybrid. MINI explains the change to the fully electric generation.
Choose it if the rear-seat and luggage space will get regular use. Compare the full footprint with your driveway and the places you park, rather than assuming every MINI has small-car dimensions. A 2024 or 2025 electric Countryman also needs its own specification; later model updates are not automatically fitted to it.
Electric Convertible: open-air driving
MINI produced a limited-production electric Convertible in 2023. It combines the earlier Electric’s compact approach with a folding fabric roof. Consider it for the open-air experience, then check rear-seat access and the luggage opening with the roof arrangements in mind. It is a distinct limited model, not evidence that every MINI Convertible is electric.
Choose the equipment you will use
Earlier Level 1, 2 and 3 descriptions and newer Level packs belong to different model generations. Compare the actual seats, parking aids, phone connection and cabin controls. On a Convertible, include the roof operation and storage arrangement in that comparison; on a Countryman, give the rear passengers a proper look.
Equipment and charging specifications can change during production. Confirm the manufacturer’s specification, fitted options, cables and any connected-service subscriptions for the actual car before ordering; registration year and trim name alone do not tell the whole story.

What comes with my MINI lease?
Second Life Leasing’s full maintenance package brings the routine upkeep into your lease, helping you plan for more than the rental alone.
Servicing, maintenance and premium replacement tyres
Servicing, maintenance, replacement tyres and MOT when required are included. Replacement tyres are premium brands, with mobile fitting where possible. Collection and return for servicing and maintenance are included, subject to limitations.
Breakdown cover and road fund tax
Breakdown cover includes a replacement vehicle for up to 48 hours if needed, plus cover for driving abroad. Check the overseas arrangements with Lex before travelling. Road fund tax is included for the duration of your lease.
Online support
The Lex Vehicle Leasing app gives you a way to book servicing, request support and find your contract documents. Use the lease company’s support route for your maintained agreement.
What do I pay for separately?
Allow for insurance and fuel or charging. Your quote and agreement also explain applicable fees and contract charges, including excess mileage and damage charges. Included maintenance helps with budgeting without making every motoring cost fixed.
What happens if my MINI develops a fault?
Contact Lex Autolease through its support process. Under Second Life Leasing’s full maintenance offering, Lex arranges covered repairs in line with your agreement, so you have a clear route to getting help.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty matter?
Where a manufacturer’s warranty applies, Lex handles the claim behind the scenes. Your repair support follows the maintained lease agreement; you do not need to work out the remaining manufacturer’s warranty before reporting a problem.
What about an electric MINI’s battery?
Our pre-leased battery-electric MINI cars come with a guaranteed minimum battery condition of 85% at delivery. That is a delivery baseline, rather than a guarantee throughout the lease or a promise of a particular driving range.
Can I choose the term and mileage?
Yes. Each car’s listing shows its available contract terms, annual mileage allowances and payment profiles. Choose mileage around your normal year, including commuting, business journeys and holidays.
The payment profile determines how much you pay initially and in subsequent rentals. Choose a term you are comfortable committing to, and review the agreement’s provisions and charges for changing or ending it early.
Personal or business leasing?
You can apply for Personal Contract Hire in your own name or Business Contract Hire for your business. The live examples in this guide are personal rentals including VAT, even if you are browsing in Business mode. Select Business to explore business prices on the stock pages, or ask us for the appropriate quote.
Why choose a pre-leased MINI?
More of the car you want within your budget
A used MINI lease lets you choose between a compact three-door, an open-top car and more practical five-door electric models without treating them as interchangeable. A pre-leased MINI has already been through its initial depreciation. Leasing it at its used value can mean a lower rental than leasing new, with the individual quote showing what that means for your chosen car. You can put the rental alongside your other regular costs and decide whether the whole package works for you.
Giving an electric MINI another lease of life
Choosing a pre-leased battery-electric MINI keeps an existing car and its battery in use. Battery-electric MINI cars produce no tailpipe emissions while driving. Manufacturing and charging electricity still contribute to their overall footprint.
UK government guidance explains that a typical electric car has lower lifetime greenhouse-gas emissions than an equivalent petrol car, including battery production and disposal. That is general EV evidence, rather than a measured saving for an individual used MINI.
A scheduled return without finding a buyer
At the agreed end, return the MINI subject to the mileage and condition terms. Lex owns and resells it and takes the resale-value risk. You can choose your next car without arranging a private sale or negotiating a part-exchange.
How do I arrange my MINI lease?
- Tell us which MINI interests you. We will help you choose from the available cars and confirm the details that matter to you.
- Review your quote. We will place a temporary reservation while you look through the figures.
- Complete the paperwork online. We will guide you through the credit application and your agreement with Lex Autolease.
- Take delivery. Once your application is approved and the car is ready, we will arrange included mainland UK delivery to your door.
