I'm looking at a 2005 Convertible Cooper S, with 58k. At the last MOT the following items were noted:
1) Power steering pipe or hose has slight seepage
2) Nearside rear brake disc worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened
3) Offside rear brake disc worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened
4) Nearside front suspension arm has slight play in a pin/bush
5) Offside front suspension arm has slight play in a pin/bush
I assume 2 & 3 require replacing as will 4 & 5 in due course. My main concern is 1) and if this is related to the Power Steering Pump failing.
The car has not been serviced since 2011 and while the owner is offering to get the car serviced now at a Mini/BMW dealership I doubt I would qualify for a new Power Steering Pump based on what I have read elsewhere (10yrs, reasonable mileage, FSH).
With a new clutch potentially on the horizon I am curious if all of the above is simply one issue too far?
I called my local mini dealership to get an idea of cost but the service dept is closed until Mon - Does anyone have an approximate idea what it would cost to get all these items fixed?
Thanks in advance,
