Description
A cherished Mini Cooper D (R56) with a full service history (not all dealer) and a well documented MOT and receipt history.
Chilli Pack with multi-function steering wheel and part leather interior.
The four previous owners and I have spent whatever has been required to keep this car in top working order as you will see from the many, many receipts. The car is in great condition and very good working order for its age.
In 2018 the timing chain failed at 90,749 miles which is a common fault with high mileage examples of this car. The failure resulted in a full engine rebuild, which included a new clutch, flywheel, an upper and lower timing chain kit and a new oil pump timing chain - please see the receipt for the amount spent on this repair.
With the timing chains, clutch and flywheel replaced is reasonable to think the engine is probably good until it reaches 180,000 miles or so.
More recently the glow plugs have been replaced and also a cam cover oil seal.
The front headlights were replaced with more modern LED's which provide excellent night time vision. This was done after one of the lights was damaged by a large stone so I decided to replace them both with LED's.
All of the interior lights/bulbs have also been replaced with LED's.
The tyres, disc brakes and pads are all good with plenty of wear left, currently the car is in for repair to have the front wheel bearings replaced.
This particular Mini drives really well and pulls strongly from under 1,000 RPM in any gear without shuddering or vibrating.
Two working keys.
We have already bought another Mini so the car is currently SORN.
