Hi Joel,  thanks for the post. 

We don't have statistics on the failure rate of the CVT transmission as this is not something that MINI shares with the world... 

You didn't mention the mileage or condition of this car, but it would be a 'risk' if you go with this car... I might recommend you look at the 2009 and newer Cooper Convertible if possible, as these models have the traditional automatic transmission....
