Thanks for reading.
I've been looking to buy an older Mini Cooper s and have found one I like the look of, but it's had a lot of work done to it, would you advise that this was a good buy?
Here's the list of work the guy has had done since he's had it.
My Cooper S for sale - This car has had extensive mechanical repairs over the last couple of years.
• The Supercharger has very recently been replaced with another out of a 40K mille car, the oil within either end of the SC was clean but has been renewed to ensure it’s fully serviced.
• Other recent work includes - April 2016 – Head gasket renewed including head skim & pressure test.
• Timing chain kit renewed - (Head gasket & Timing belt approx £1,100)
• Both rear callipers, discs and pads renewed, the front calipers, discs and pads are a couple of months older.
• New clutch kit, which I can confirm drives great.
• New Alternator.
• Various other work including bushes, bearings etc over the years.
• The exhaust is Stainless.
• The condition of the interior (half leather) is great, the exterior is very good with a few marks that are in keeping with a 2002 car.
• Four new tyres, it has white alloy type wheels in very good condition.
• Standard items - ABS, Electric Windows, Electric Mirrors, CD Player, Remote Central Locking, Alarm, Half Leather Interior, Xenon Headlights with height adjustment and Washers
• Part service history. MOT’d until 22/10/17. Drives great.
