Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Check the coolant level and look for coolant under the oil filter housing. Ask whether the pump and thermostat were replaced together. A scanner reads the module codes. Bad result: low coolant, an overheating warning, or codes 20A207 or 20F219.
- Ask for proof of intake valve cleaning (walnut-shell blasting). Bad result: no record, a rough idle, or high fuel use.
- Start the cold engine and listen for a thud. Bad result: a thud at start-up or vibration in the cabin at idle.
- For cars built November 2013 to September 2014, check the nut in the spare-wheel well. Bad result: a loose nut or no self-locking screw.
- Ask a MINI dealer to check open recall campaigns for the car's VIN. Bad result: any open campaign.
