What the Mini Cooper sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Cooper, latest tested year 2026:
The label also prints an estimated $2,400 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 307 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Cooper under Two Seaters, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Cooper's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2002 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a Cooper sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 7 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What's on the Mini Cooper sticker

For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a Mini Cooper
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Cooper, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Mini Cooper all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Mini Cooper whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
Window sticker — frequently asked
What MPG does the Mini Cooper window sticker show?
The EPA figures on file are 32 mpg combined (27 city / 39 highway), from its 2026 rating, with an estimated $2,400 a year in fuel printed alongside.
Is the recreated Mini Cooper sticker the same as the original?
It rebuilds the factory equipment, EPA fuel economy and NHTSA safety from official records, so the core Monroney content matches. Dealer-added options and destination charges vary by sale, so the printed total on one Mini Cooper may differ from another.
