Description
Lovely example of the R52 MINI Cooper Convertible, with the desirable 1.6 petrol engine and manual gearbox. Black and tan leather seats, with heated front seats for cooler days with the roof down.
I have owned this MINI since 2021 and it has been a much-loved car. It has recently had a substantial amount of work carried out and now has a fresh MOT.
Recent work includes:
New rocker cover gasket installed in January 2026
Exhaust system replaced in February 2026
New steering rack fitted
Power steering system repaired, including replacement sealing components and supply hose clamp
Four-wheel alignment
Both front MacPherson strut top mounts replaced
Rear brake discs and pads replaced
Fresh MOT issued August 2026
The car drives well and has been a dependable little convertible during our ownership. It is now only being sold because we have acquired another vehicle and no longer need three cars.
There are some age-related cosmetic and corrosion imperfections, as you would expect from a 2005 car. These are advisories and the MOT confirms that the affected structural areas are not seriously weakened. The car has just passed its MOT following the recent work carried out by a Mini specialist in Southampton.
The car comes with documentation for the recent work and the fresh MOT + partial service history for the past 10/15 years.
Viewing and test drives welcome.
