This is our lovely little Mini Graphite Edition, our standby car that we use should we need a spare car for whatever reason but as the MOT history will show, it hardly gets used and it's time for it to find a new home. It's a lively little car for a diesel with great character and very very cheap to run. It had a timing belt kit fitted 3000 miles ago and I insisted on a Gates kit and not one of these cheap kits that let go prematurely. I am open to sensible offers and payment is strictly in Pound notes. It's not taxed and insured so if you feel you need a test drive please arrange day insurance but I can assure you there are no knocks or rattles and she drives like the day she was new. This car does not have the notoriously bad BMW N47 engine that spends your money for you, it has the PSA DV6 engine which in my opinion is the best engine and gearbox fitted to the Minis. It has had 4 new tyres fitted for the MOT and it hasn't been driven since.
Here's the kicker
When I listed this car previously I got a lot of abuse about it being a Cat N, I was blissfully unaware that it was a Cat N. I bought it from a young girl after she had parked too far over a high curb and took out all the radiators and did a little bit of damage to the lower part of the front bumper. I replaced the plastic radiator carrier and all the radiators and repaired the bumper. I bought the car from her under the impression that she couldn't afford the repair not knowing that she'd actually claimed from the insurance and kept the car as part of the settlement. I include photos of the car as I bought it with most of its front bits dismantled, the head lights were removed because they mount to the radiator carrier and there was absolutely no damage to them.
In my opinion, anyone who does an HPI check on a 17 year old car needs to give their head a wobble. This little car has not missed a beat in all the years we have owned it and all it has cost us is oil and filters when I have serviced it.
I will consider cash offers over the starting price.
