Are there any particular years that tend to be better than others?

2005-2006 are good, as are the 2005-2008 Convertibles. 2002-2004 Coopers had a crappy Midlands 5 speed. Avoid the CVT Coopers. The 2nd Gen 2007-2012 N14 engine is not very good (it eats timing chain guides), the 2013+ N18 is much better.
