Mini Cooper S R56 - Non Starter / Spares or Repair
I'm selling my 2007 Mini Cooper S R56 as a non-starter, ideal for spares or a project.
The car has covered around 83,000 miles. It previously ran but developed a fault with the water pump (bearing noise), which caused the engine to overheat. Since then, it has stopped starting altogether. I suspect a head gasket issue or possible engine damage due to overheating, but this hasn't been professionally diagnosed.
The car currently does not start at all, so it will need to be recovered or transported.
Condition is fair for its age with the usual wear and tear. Interior is still in decent condition.
Key points:
- 1.6L turbo engine (Cooper S)
- Approx. 83k miles
- Non-starter
- Overheating issue prior to failure
- Suspected head gasket / possible engine damage
- Water pump fault (bearing noise)
- Will need recovery/transport
- Sold as seen
Being completely honest, this is a project car or ideal for parts, not something that can be driven away.
Open to sensible offers.
