MINI has put deliveries of its latest models on ice over a safety recall due to potentially defective parts.
Delays have occurred to orders of the new three and five-door Cooper and the Countryman SUV because of an impending brake system recalled that has already affected the manufacturer’s parent company BWM.

Around 80,000 BMW and Rolls-Royce models worldwide have been called back for the same issue, which could see drivers lose control of their cars.
Mini UK confirmed to Autocar it had “partially” halted deliveries of Cooper and Countryman models due to the problem.
It is thought to be the same issue that has already sparked recalls in February for BMW’s latest 5 Series and 7 Series as well as the current generations of the X1, X3, X5, X6, X7 and XM SUVs.
Also affected are the electric i5 and i7 as well as Rolls-Royce’s first EV, the £330,000 Spectre.
