It's probably not a good idea to make concrete assumptions about a specific virus from the family it belongs to. A good place to look when starting to characterize, not necessarily a complete guide to how the virus will interact with our immune systems.

The coronaviruses that cause colds (such as CoV-OC43) don't mutate much. Immunity to them doesn't last long for reasons that aren't well understood.
Some other viruses that cause colds escape immunity through mutation, other non-CoV cold causing viruses escape are like CoV and also just have short immunity periods without mutation.
