Selling my much-loved R53 Cooper S due to relocating overseas. This has been my reliable daily driver and an enjoyable example of the iconic supercharged MINI. Mileage will increase slightly as it is still in use.

Key Details:

2005 facelift R53 Cooper S

Chili Pack

149,000 miles

MOT until July 2027

Clear HPI

Extensive service history

Original handbook pack

2 keys

Factory Features:

Bluetooth

Cruise control

Xenon headlights

Air conditioning

Multifunction steering wheel

Factory LSD (where fitted)

Performance & Upgrades:

15% supercharger pulley with supporting tune

Stainless steel exhaust

Monroe suspension

Original alloy wheels recently powder coated in Old English White to match the roof and mirrors

4x spare 16" MINI twin-spoke alloy wheels with tyres included with sale

2 new Yokohama tyres recently fitted

Recent Maintenance:

Oil and filter changed every 4,000 miles

Spark plugs replaced (<200 miles ago)

Auxiliary belt replaced (<100 miles ago)

Coolant changed and radiator fan replaced (<200 miles ago)

Major Work Completed:

Timing chain replaced at 125,000 miles

Clutch replaced at approximately 132,000 miles

The car has been enthusiast-owned and well maintained. The previous two owners both worked in the automotive industry, and it has been properly looked after.

Condition:

The car presents very well for its age, but it is not a showroom car. It has some age-related cosmetic marks, including the common R53 bonnet and boot paint issues, plus a few minor dents.

Other points worth noting:

Nearside rear exhaust mount needs replacing

Headlights would benefit from polishing

Nearside front bonnet cable requires replacement (replacement part included)

A great opportunity for someone looking for a sorted R53 Cooper S with a good maintenance history and tasteful upgrades.
