Hello.

Hi. My name is Brandon and I'm trying to buy a 2004 British Racing Green Cooper S. Really nice car with only 24,000 miles on it. I've been trying to do research on it for common problems/complaints and for the most part have come up with very little. What about you guys? Is there anything I should be worried about with it?

Thank you,
Brandon

 

Look at motoringfile.com, they have a used car buyers guide in what to look for in the different year/type of MINI's.

Cheers
Mark

 

Good advice from Mark, sounds like a low mileage car and if it checks out you might as well become a MINI owner.

 

Well, we took the Mini home on a dealer tag for the night. Couldn't really drive it too hard due to annoying rain. I can definitely tell this little car has some guts to it. We'll see tomorrow when we go back if we're Mini owners or not. Thanks for the site suggestion it was helpful

 

Congrats Check the front control arm bushings, they wear out all the time. The front upper strut mounts are commonly broken too.

 

Officially became an owner yesterday evening! Love it! Now just need dry weather to really see what this little bigger can do

 

Congratulations Brandon!

I hope it gives you many years of driving fun!
