Hi all. I'm still looking for my cooper s. I have had a search on here for high miles but nothing comes up for 150k +.
So how are R53 for this high a mileage? By what I have seen should be ok will a good service history but should of had a new supercharger at some point.
Anything else?

I the car has been looked after then there is no real reason for the supercharger to be changed

Just wondering, what do you mean by 'if the car has been looked after' ?
There's absolutely nothing in the BMW/MINI service schedule relating to the supercharger (apart from the belt).

FSH and with a search I found supercharger need replacing after 80k.

The supercharger should last of over 100K.

If the car has been well maintained it should be fine. My first super charger lasted 191,000 miles with a 15% pulley on it. My second one has just over 105,000 on it.

Make sure belts, brakes, and oil has been changed regularly.

Mine currently has just over 296,000 miles and is running strong.
