- My FIRST YEAR as a New Driver | Lessons Learnt
In this video I discuss how I've found the first 12 to 18 months as a new driver on the road. How driving my Mini One 1.4L has taught me to be a better driver and how I learnt lessons from other road users around me.
I also talk about the costs of being a first year driver such as how much my insurance was as a teenager in the UK and how a black box has kept me safe and saved me money.
Thanks for watching

genuinely considering getting a mini as a first car, everyone seems to be getting polos but having driven one of these once theyre fun to drive and i like it so yeah.
I just got my first job, which means i can afford driving lessons again after the first 5 that my dad and grandma gave me for my birthday, and i can finally afford a car. I’ve always wanted a mini ever since i was a kid and even more so after my mam had one. So i’m definitely looking at getting a mini one for my first car. I’m going to put the little toy dog she had on her dashboard in her memory. Excellent few videos you’ve done on this car by the way :)
Well done mate! It’s a big thing paying for your lessons, car and insurance yourself so big big well done mate it’s an achievement and something to be really proud of!
Well done Olly hope you carry on with your presenting :)
you talk sense for a young driver. if everybody thought like you. well done
please do the next video soon!!!! review or something. about the car itself and its prgress. thanks !!!
I bought my 2007 Mini one in lightning blue a few months ago , loving it so far , and I love the wheels on yours man! 👍
Nice 👍🏼 Thank you
how much did you pay for it, and have you encountered any problems?
@@JosephiGoebbeli Paid 1800 With 70000 miles , Only issue Was Front brakes needed changing and The Heater needed a new Regulator switch
@@jl-j1472 thanks for the info, i’m looking to buy a 1.4 mini one for under £2000 and with less than 100k, i’ve fallen in love with the car and am worried about any problems i might encounter or what i should look out for. do you think i should go for it?
@@JosephiGoebbeli Honestly it's completely up to you man , I really like mine , the N14 Engines in the ones before 2011 isn't the most reliable thing in the world but I've had no issues and aslong as you treat the car well , it will treat you well.
How did you change the colour of the grey foglight surround? Great Video 👍🏻👍🏻
Watched your original video when I had just got my 1.4 to learn in, I did 15,000 in it after I passed - best little car ever.
Yeah it’s so good to start out with
how much did you pay for it and did you encounter any problems with it?
@@JosephiGoebbeli was £1750 with 90k on it, replaced the radiator, thermostat, coil packs and sparks. Then my mechanic found major rust on the subframe so it had to be scrapped. Didn’t see it on the day we bought it but it did me for a year so I’m not complaining. Loved it so much I’ve got another one now.
@@TheAngusvlogs thanks angus, i’m looking to buy a 1.4 mini one as my first car for under £2000 and with less than 100k miles. people are advising me not to but i have already fallen in love with it and would very much like to buy one. but i need to know of any problems i might encounter with it. do you recommend i go for it?
@@JosephiGoebbeli definitely but only if you have a buffer for issues, eg an extra wad of cash that can be used for repairs. Things likely to go are cooling system based eg radiator and thermostat. Make sure you take someone who knows what they’re looking for when buying it as well, and most importantly check the subframe for rust! At the end of the day if it’s your first car you’re gonna love whatever you have but nothing else drives quite like a mini.
I’m so close to buying one of these. But stick in two minds, have you had any issues? Would you recommend?
I just recently retired my first car which was a Mini Cooper 2006 Park Lane.
Great car until the repair costs would of exceeded the value. I got it at 70K on the clock and ran it until 127500 so I did ok.
Replaced it with a Cooper S Countryman 😀
Love the park lane. It’s like a little monopoly peice
Wow insurance has gone up a lot in the last few years , I have to pay 1600 a year for mine !
I have the same car just the 2005 model as my first car and was wondering how you changed the front grill
It was simply a straight swap for the grill itself but the lower piece of black trim had to be cut to fit the front bumper as the Cooper S (from which the grill is from) has a different design
how much did you pay for your car, and have you encountered any problems with it?
I’m a student who’s looking to buy a mini. Would you recommend a mini one over a copper in terms of cost and longevity ? 😇
nice video! how do you find the noise on the motorways? im looking at buying a 2007 1.4 mini one ( the same colour too lmao ) in the next few months, and have heard that it can be noisy on motorways? is it bearable on long motorway journeys? how have you find the noise ( road / tyre etc ) ?
I personally haven’t had a problem with noise on the motorway. Once I’ve got some music on it’s perfectly pleasant but it would also be fine with no music at all. I guess it would just be a case of personal preference
@@OllyT555 thanks :)
What's the car itself been like?
What's the fuel efficiency like? How much is a tank of fuel (approx) and how many miles out of that tank do you get? Mpg? Im looking for a cheap run around but needs to be economical..
when driving gently around town i get around 34-37mpg and when on the motorway you can get 40+mpg. a full tank will register as around 350miles, but actual mileage will depend on driving style. hope i could help!
What insurance company did you go with
When you first got your car
i have the same car, i went with churchill and paid £1800 for the first year with no black box
