2008 MINI Cooper S - Excellent Service History - Spares or Repair
Selling my 2008 MINI Cooper S. I bought the car and, shortly after purchase, it developed a turbo-related fault which causes it to go into limp mode. I haven't repaired this, so the car is being sold as spares or repair or as a project.
Since owning the car, I have also replaced the alternator.
The car has an extensive service history with a folder full of invoices, original handbooks and paperwork.

Condition
Good overall condition for its age.
Some lacquer peel on the driver's door, rear quarter and tailgate.
Front CV joints have recently started clicking slightly and will likely need replacing in the future.
HPI clear.
Original handbooks and a folder full of invoices included.
Overall, this is a well-maintained MINI with a substantial maintenance history. It does require attention for the turbo-related limp mode issue, so it would suit a mechanic, enthusiast or someone looking for a project. Priced accordingly.
