Description:

Approx 86000 genuine miles. (Will rise slightly as I use it to commute).

This car has been one family owned since new and passed down through the family with myself being the 4th owner when I purchased the car for my wife.
Before purchase car was used mostly as a learner car for the previous families children doing driving lessons and then became the first car for both when they passed.

The car is in reasonable condition for its age apart from the odd scratch, scuffs and dings expected of age, cosmetically the most noticeable is the small dent on rear bumper, scratch on passenger door and some very light surface bubbling on both doors. The car is 16 years old so it is expected to have imperfections here and there, especially as the nature of its history. In my personal opinion the car would benefit from a good polish and de-tarring as it’s been parked under a tree at some point in its life, not overly noticeable but like to be honest. It certainly doesn’t detract from how good the car still looks. Please don’t expect a brand new car.

Interior again is in good condition which benefits from having the added extra of full leather interior which is very clean and has no rips or tears. It also has the panoramic sunroof which works perfectly along with all the interior electrics. I believe the leather and panoramic sunroof were optional extras on this model. The only negative is the interior could benefit from a valet. I will try get this done before sale.

Mechanically the car drives very well and is surprisingly smooth for being a Mini. It has had a recent new exhaust back box fitted.
Negative points to note is that the ABS light comes on now again along with the tyre inflation warning light, I’m pretty sure this is just a faulty sensor as the brakes work absolutely fine and the tyres are all at the correct PSI. The warnings also reset when you turn the car off and on again. I use the car to commute with absolutely no issues.

All in all this is a very quirky, fun little car to drive and although it has some imperfections it still starts, stops and drives like it should.
I bought the car for my wife to runaround in but she doesn’t like it at all, which is a shame as it’s a great little runner. Unfortunately I have my own car too and don’t have the storage or I would keep. So now it’s for sale.

I have tried to describe the car as honestly as I can but please bear in mind I’m no mechanic so any inspections are most welcome.

Unfortunately the previous owner has lost the V5 so this will need applied for, I have the new keeper slip which allows you to apply online for the Full V5 free of charge. I can also provide a written receipt. I haven’t applied for the V5 as I don’t plan on keeping the car.

2 Keys ( 1 master with working remote central locking and 1 spare)

I have more images of interior/exterior if anyone’s interested. I can also take more images if anyone would like to see a specific area.
