Hello my friend bought himself a Mini Cooper, a while ago, also with purchase test etc, built 2010, R56, 75 HP, around c.a 600€. Sound first quite ok, 1.6l displacement on 75PS sounds durable. Unfortunately, the dealer is to say the least a small criminal. Starting from radio did not work, “no antenna up”, they would always steal him, yes, no matter. Just as afterwards noticed, of course weak sense, all others have antennas on it, i.e. radio never went, was before short m now also made, since the whole socket simply flew away. A lot of things have been exchanged, camshaft sensor, climate capacitor, everything possible. In total certainly over a year almost 3000€ in cost. What seemed strange to me from the beginning, but I could not judge, since no comparison (perhaps so usual with Mini), was the interior of the engine. For me this looks like someone has spackled coarser, and at the back are also strange stripes to see (see pictures), And the water is also in there (with this black part). Is this maybe an accident car that was sold to us here despite multiple demand and denial? At least that doesn’t look so wild with my Audi. But that’s why please, someone can take a look at the photos and tell me if this usually looks like this, or if it was definitely repaired here (grey) ? Thanks in advance !
