Small Mini shopping update on the off chance that anyone's interested đ
Went to see two today, both One models, both N18 - edit: N12 not N18
First was in decent cosmetic nick, good service history including timing chain. 07 reg on 107k miles. A handful of options but nothing flashy. No odd noises besides what I think may have been the steering pump. Cons are a very weepy rocker cover, a lot of oil scum on the sump and gearbox, and corrosion on the subframe. Drove nicely though.
Second a bit rattier - some rust coming up, had been keyed down both sides, clean-ish inside but lower spec. 09 plate on 87k miles. No sign of timing chain work but no death rattle either. Cleaner under the bonnet, and the seller has done recent work on some oil seals but not the engine cover. Crucially we could only drive this one âround the yardâ as it âwasnât insuredâ so since we couldnât even get it up to speed/temp its probs out of the running.
Hopefully going to see a cooper tomorrow which has pages and pages of receipts in the listing, fsh, and used to belong to the Secretary of the Yorkshire owners club.
