2011–2016 · R60 Cooper · Lebanon
The N16B16 is the naturally aspirated 1.6-litre four-cylinder used in the base MINI R60 Cooper Countryman. It produces 122 hp and is known for its smooth power delivery and low running costs — a reliable everyday engine for urban and highway use.
Unlike the turbocharged N18, the N16 does not have the same timing chain sensitivity issues. It is a robust unit that routinely reaches high mileage with basic maintenance. The engine uses a single VANOS unit on the intake camshaft.
All N16 units we sell are tested for compression, oil pressure, and coolant system integrity. We source only clean, low-mileage donor vehicles — no engines from flood-damaged or crash-written-off cars.
