Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This early Mini Cooper (R50) in Chilli Red has a comprehensive maintenance history, including recent exhaust, power steering pump and clutch replacements. Showing 91,221 miles, it comes with a long MOT until June 2026, making it road-ready, but it may need some cosmetic reconditioning.
Condition
6
The car has moderate wear and tear, as evidenced by the 91,221 miles on the odometer and the presence of service records indicating maintenance and repairs. While it has been well-maintained with recent replacements of the exhaust, power steering pump, and clutch, the service history only goes up to 73k miles in 2012, suggesting a gap in documented maintenance. The vendor's statement that it “drives 100% spot on” is positive, but the car likely requires some reconditioning to address the moderate wear.
