Mini, HATCHBACK, Hatchback, 2002, Manual, 1598 (cc), 3 doors

Description

Red 1.6l Mini ONE 3dr /w Electric Sunroof in working order and Alloy wheels (A/C is installed and was working until mid-2024, needs compressor replacing).
Under 117,000 miles.

Bought for my missus, and driven for a few years but sadly she has stopped driving recently, and me being 6 foot with back/shoulder problems, it's a little bit small to be my regular runner, so I want it off to a good home where it will get used more often than we drive it.

Good acceleration, nippy, responsive, small turning circle, convenient for parking. Back seats fold forward for larger boot space, would fit longer and more volume than you'd think looking at it.

Starting to lose a bit of lacquer and some minor dinks and scratches on the bodywork, and headlights are damaged at the bottom, but still work and pass MOT (no water ingress due to sloping angle of rear light fittings).

The car needs the key inserted and turned to the ignition position (as per usual on all cars), but there has been a 'start' button/switch installed with a resistor, to prevent battery drain (it was an issue an auto-electrician had found on this when working on headlight issue, and ECU/EWS was playing up, this solved it all including battery drain). Everything works as normal otherwise, car starts first time every time and drives lovely, low enough to the ground to provide stability in corners and turns, accelerates fast, small enough to get in and out with little to no problems in any side street or small parking space, and still big enough to take a handful of pepole and a load of shopping bags, large suitcase would fit without seats folded back, could get another 2-3 in if folding down the seats - have transported all sorts in this badboy including multiple trips to the DIY store, for wood, and all sorts.

£1000 spent in last 3 years on repairs and keeping it up-to-scratch and in solid nick. Looking for £1500 or nearest offer, not looking to be low-balled but happy to have a chat and consider offers. The car that has a long MOT, just had loads of work done to it in 2024-2026 and should be a solid runner for many more miles considering. Replacing the air-con compressor would make this a really decent spec car with loads of life left in it for the right person/family.
