Description
Black 2009 Mini Cooper D (R56 generation), approximately 120,000 miles. Great opportunity for someone with basic mechanical knowledge or looking for an easy project.
The situation:
Starts first time every time, all year round, including cold winter mornings, which speaks well of the engine.
Recently recharged the battery and this is still true.
MOT expired approximately March 2026. There are intermittent warning lights on the dash; an OBD scan points to a glow plug issue (see pictures). The problems appear intermittently during a drive rather than constantly, so it may well still be driveable once the MOT is sorted.
Very slow puncture front driver side.
2 keys. 1 inoperable. 1 damaged but fully functional (new case needed).
Why we're selling:
We're genuinely sad to see it go. It's been a fun, characterful little car. We're simply not in a position to maintain it properly, and it deserves an owner who will.
