I bought this mini in 2009 from a local car dealer and for the last fourteen years I have had the mini professionally serviced and all worked carried out by M. L. Motorsport Ltd.

** A new full M. O. T is in place, expires 24. 08. 2024 **

A full service and inspection has been carried out by M. L. Motorsports on 04/ 09/ 23. Spark plugs, rocker gaskets/ value clearances, oil top up and other fluids, running gear checked, no issues. Underside and rear subframe checked no issues apart from surface rust only and the MED 1330 engine unit checked no issues. (Invoice of work provided)

All invoices and certificates from previous services and M. O. Ts have been kept.

-------------------------------- The Cons are: ------------------------------
There are six speakers and a SENDAI stereo head, but it only seems the front speakers work and one of the speakers under the rear seat has a centre part, which has come away. I never got round to having the system looked at.

There is a small dent in the rear drivers side bumper and some bubbling under the window. (See Photo)

On the passenger side of the car there is some bubbling under the paint work on the front wing, bottom corner of door and near the filler cap. (See photos)

On the drivers side there is some bubbling under the paint work on the corner of the door. (See photos)

There is no trim around the roof lip, as I have never found any that stay on properly!
