Hi
I have just purchased a 53 plate Cooper S from a dealer. The MOT has an advisory sheet which states that, 'the offside rear exhaust system is partly deteriorated'
The car has done 19k miles and the dealer neglected to tell me about it.
I have spoken to 2 separate Mini dealers about the costs for replacement and both of them immediately knew what the problem was and advised that whilst this appears on MOTS quite a bit, the exhaust has several skins and it only appears to be the outer one that shows early wear.
This has given me some confidence as I didn't give them a leading question. Does anyone out there has similar experience or knowledge? Basically, should I be concerned or not? A replacement seems to be about £300 for the back box.
Many thanks, Andrea
