The short version
- The 2009 Mini Cooper rear wheel bearing is 512427, the same number that covers the whole 2007 to 2015 run.
- Front bearings run 513309 from 2007 through 2013, then split by body style once the 2014 model year arrives.
- Hatchbacks built 2014 to 2016 move to front bearing 513384, which uses the M12 x 1.5 bolt, while convertibles and coupes keep 513309 through 2015.
- Countryman wheel bearings are a separate listing entirely and do not appear on this page.
Mini built the Cooper hatchback, convertible, and coupe from 2007 to 2015 before moving to newer hardware after that. The rear bearing stayed at one number the entire time, which makes the 2009 Mini Cooper rear wheel bearing an easy lookup regardless of trim. The front is where body style starts to matter once 2014 arrives.

This page covers the 2007-2015 Mini Cooper: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015. Other years live on the main Mini Cooper wheel bearing page.
From 2014 the front bearing splits by body style, not by year alone. Hatchbacks take 513384 with the M12 x 1.5 bolt, while convertibles and coupes keep 513309. Countryman searches belong to a different body with its own parts, so match the body style first before ordering.
Year by year
From 2007 through 2013, every Cooper uses front bearing 513309 no matter the body style. The 2009 Mini Cooper rear wheel bearing is 512427 across this same stretch. That pairing holds for seven full model years.
Starting in 2014, the body style decides the front number: hatchbacks move to 513384, while convertibles and coupes hold at 513309 through 2015. The rear stays at 512427 for both.
Cars built for 2016 and 2017 move to a new front bearing, 513390, with a rear of 512569. Those years sit outside this page and are noted here only for context.
Body styles across the run
The Cooper sold as a hatchback, a convertible, and a coupe through this span, and the rear bearing never varied between them. The front number only splits once the hatchback picks up its own listing in 2014. Buyers cross shopping the Countryman should treat it as a separate parts family since it does not share these numbers.
Owners chasing noise on either end can start with turning noise patterns or confirm the diagnosis against tire wear signs before ordering.
Diagnosing a Mini Cooper wheel bearing
- Confirm the body style. Hatchback, convertible, and coupe front numbers diverge starting in 2014, so identify the body before pulling a number.
- Listen for the pattern. Use a basic bearing check to separate bearing noise from tire and suspension noise.
- Check both sides. A worn bearing on one corner rarely means the other side needs the same part right away.
- Watch the ABS light. A failing hub bearing can trip codes long before the noise gets loud; see how ABS lights connect to bearing wear.
- Match the old part. If a bearing on hand does not match 513309 or 513384, recheck the body style and year before ordering.

What wheel bearing does a 2014 Mini Cooper hatchback use?
A 2014 hatchback takes front bearing 513384 with the M12 x 1.5 bolt, while the rear stays at 512427. A 2014 convertible or coupe keeps the older 513309 front instead.
Does the Mini Cooper rear wheel bearing change by body style?
