The best I could do was to list them in the order of \"worst first\" as I stated. I cannot know for sure which niggles are the most common because not every MINI owner posts on MINI2. Apial had the engine blow up (overheating) and Saffy had the low oil pressure, perhaps a stuck window too. But there have been numerous complaints about the seat latches and seat quality, squeaks and rattles, fuel gauge, electrical system and of course the pulling to the left. My intention was to list as many of the niggles as I could keep track of. Some cars are nearly perfect, but others are not. Bad Manners has had only a couple minor niggles, but others have had many of them and are on a first name basis with the service department. If the same ones crop up over and over, rather than a batch of new ones, it may help the factory to solve them. Forewarned is forearmed. If you take delivery of a MINI and it has some problems, at least you\'ll know you aren\'t alone.
