Hi all,

Looking to buy a second car for my partner for work as I'm looking for a van myself. She has decided she wants a MINI cooper, at the minute were thinking diesel but really cant decide if it would be a better buy than the petrol version.

Our current Rav4 has DPF issues and having had the same issues with a Zafira I dont really want them with the MINI also, when do they start to go on MINI's?

We have a budget of £5000 to spend and have no part ex, looking for around a 07-09 plate depending on miles and specs. Anyone got one for sale?

Why diesel, exactly my point, I don't know what I want!
Likely it's the short sightedness of general MPG fuel economy.
We currently have just the RAV4, planning on the cover for her and a T5 van for me as we're finding 1 car a struggle now with kids getting older.
Found a 2009 on a 58 plate petrol to go look at tomorrow now.

Any known issues with the petrol models as it sounds like there is with the diesels, funny I drove a diesel on Sunday that was rattling, now guess that was the death rattle. 😂
Jason.
