2012 Countryman All4 Common issue

Hello all, I don't have a mini yet, still looking, there is a 2012 Mini Countryman all 4 for sale that I am interested in, what is the common issue and things that I need to watch out when I test drive it. Sorry, the prefix in the title should be R60. Thanks.

Just bought one

I should have checked: oil, plastics, timing chain, tires, and for plastics squeaking(although a dab of mineral oil seems to do the trick for now).

Hope that helps!

OH and my radiator fins are all bent to hell. I bought a tool to smooth them, but that sounds like a lot of work. Fan does kick on early in high heat.
