Looking at your other posts, it looks like this car has been in at least two collisions (one front and one rear) and has had a tree fall on it. Were the damages from these incidents repaired at a shop or are you repairing the damage yourself? Also, were any of the repairs paid for by an insurance company? Or alternatively, was the car ever totalled by an insurance company? Answering these questions may get you a more useful response more quickly.

No kidding. Any chance that "repairable" was totaled somewhere along the line? Sure sounds like a lot of damage was done with multiple issues. I think we need more details! 
Probably not really a "dealer being unfair" sounds like one just covering himself.
Try this. Call 866-ASK-MINI and ask how much warranty is left. If they say you still have a warranty, then either take it to another dealer, or have the area rep step in.

I have had my warranty cancelled on my 2006 Mini due to a rear accident ,I initially took it in for power steering pump failure $2500.00 later and to top it off the manufacturer rep feels the car was not repaired properly and has been so bold to just go ahead and cancel my remaining warranty to teach me a lesson ! Well its off to court we go !! ANY INPUT ?
Please report your power steering pump failure to NHTSA.
Here's the link.

If this is as prevalent as it seems, maybe we can get something done.

If the dealer or a licensed body shop has made the repairs, I can't imagine that they'd cancel the warranty. Keep us updated on this story

A licensed shop did a great job on the car , however I guess the dealer service manager called a local DSM to view the car because of my failed power steering ( that cost me $2500.00) I guess they feel that other items may have not been to thier "unknowledgeable " standards and thought it best to do the world a favor and just void my warranty due to the accident, they told me today they have the authority to do so ! BEWARE ALL MINI OWNERS DONT HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR ELSE !!I will take this to court and fire everything possible at them .
I suggest you read up on the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Great to quote, impossibly expensive to defend your rights with.
To the OP, have you called Mini USA to discuss the issue with them?
What do they say if you did?
