There was a lot of initial issues with the early MINIS. Rattley dashboards/interior parts, notchy gear changes (sometimes new gearboxes needed), steering pumps failing, iirc the fuel cap/surround was recalled at some point. The list goes on. The good news is most issues have been resolved. Your best bet is going to mini2.com and having a good read up.

im on there now

thanks

Is that the Blue one? I know it's a main dealer, but Christ on a bike £10495 is a lot of money.

I've got an 02 plate MCS and I'd only expect to get about £8k for it and thats with the sat nav, parking distance sensors, panoramic sunroof etc..

i wont be spending £10k on a 52 plate...im going to have a look and drive that is all


i can buy the same model/year/spec with less miles for £7.5k privately
