Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 4 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 4 people together: the advert records 4 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 13 years old and 152,105 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You regularly help children or passengers into the rear: fewer doors can make access awkward. Try your child seats and usual passenger routine before deciding.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the R57 Mini Convertible with a folding fabric roof and compact 2+2 layout — petrol manuals were commonly offered with the 1.6‑litre Cooper and the hotter Cooper S engines. The roof mechanism, seals and water drains are the defining maintenance items on convertibles of this age, and manual cars commonly show clutch wear; overall parts are easy to source through Mini/BMW networks but some engine/electrical niggles are reported on older Minis.
- Convertible roof: operate it cold and warm, inspect fabric for tears, check seals around the boot/rear window and test for any water ingress into the boot or rear footwells.
- Look for corrosion around sills, rear subframe, wheelarches and under the bumper where roof water drains run — common on road salt/coastal cars.
- Clutch and gearbox feel: check for slipping, high bite point or heavy wear and listen for crunching when changing gears; clutch replacement is a known cost on manual Minis.
- Engine for oil leaks and unusual noises on cold start (timing‑chain/tensioner noise reported on some 1.6 petrols) and check service history for any major engine work.
- Electrical items: test roof switches, window motors, central locking and rear demister; electrical gremlins and water‑related faults are common in older convertibles.
