MINI Hatch

Worth knowing

• Above-average kilometres: 210,000 km, high whatever its age. Ask for the service history, and when the timing belt and clutch were last done.
• An older car: 15 years old. Cars over ten years need an NCT every year, and repairs and parts weigh more in what it costs to keep.
• The NCT ran out in December 2023. Ask whether it has been tested since.
